I work with teens and adults experiencing ADHD, anxiety, panic attacks, stress, perfectionism, grief, trauma, and relationship concerns. With a background in the arts, I may integrate creative strategies to support healing, self-soothing, and trauma processing. Sessions are warm, collaborative, and often infused with humor. My approach is holistic, relational, and psychodynamic, encouraging active engagement, deeper self-understanding, and a stronger relationship with yourself.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker trained in ACT, CBT, mindfulness, psychodynamic therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I am also certified in Trauma-Informed Expressive Arts Therapy. I offer in-person sessions in Fulton Market and virtual therapy throughout Illinois.
Taking the first step toward support can feel overwhelming, especially when you are already feeling stuck, anxious, or unsure. Whatever you're going through, I’m here to listen without judgment and help you navigate a path forward. Please reach out when you feel ready and we will work together to reach your goals.
