I’m a counselor trainee and working towards my master’s in clinical mental health counseling from Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois.
I was drawn to this field while working in the professional sports industry for over a decade. Working with a diverse group of athletes, their families, and the community fueled my desire to explore the many intersections that mold our identities and how those identities shift, expand and evolve over time. I believe that regardless of the societal box we’re placed in, our story is uniquely ours – part of the beauty of what it means to be human.

Many of my clients carry a quiet sense that something has always felt different or off-script. Some are autistic or ADHD and have spent years adapting to systems that never truly saw them. Others are navigating trauma, grief, or identity shifts, often without clear names or obvious scars. They want clarity, self-trust, and a way forward that reflects who they really are. Therapy with me is about honoring that complexity and building something real, no performance required.

You may be someone who has spent years trying to hold everything together on your own—pushing through, over-functioning, and quietly carrying more than most people realize. You might be neurodivergent and feeling overwhelmed by trauma, anxiety, mood changes, substance use, or chronic stress, and exhausted from feeling misunderstood or unsupported.

What are the advantages of seeing a Native American therapist?
Therapists are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health conditions through various forms of talk therapy and behavioral interventions. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is an essential part of feeling supported and understood in care. For many Native American individuals, working with a provider who shares or respects their cultural background can foster a deeper sense of trust and connection in the therapeutic process. Native American therapists may be especially well-equipped to address topics such as historical trauma, intergenerational grief, and cultural identity—factors that can significantly shape the mental health experiences of Native American clients. These providers may also be knowledgeable about and incorporate Indigenous healing traditions, which can be beneficial for clients seeking this approach. Additionally, Native American therapists may be more familiar with community resources, support networks, or other culturally-aligned providers who can offer further support.
How to find a Native American therapist?
Psychology Today’s online directory is a useful tool for finding a Native American therapist. You can filter for providers who identify as Native American or who mention working with Indigenous populations and highlight cultural competence in their profiles. Look for signs such as experience with tribal communities, familiarity with Native traditions, or a focus on trauma-informed care. Depending on your preferences and needs, it may also be important to ask whether a provider offers telehealth, which therapeutic approaches they use, and whether they accept your insurance. If you're unable to find a therapist who personally identifies as Native American, you may also consider providers who have experience working with Native clients or who demonstrate a clear commitment to cultural humility and respect for Native American beliefs and traditions. You might also consider a blended approach—for example, seeing a therapist for talk therapy while also seeing a Native healer or counselor for more culturally-specific support.
