You may be seeking therapy because you’re feeling stuck in patterns, unsure of who you are or what you want. You might be navigating disconnection in your relationship or conflict in your family. If you’re a person of color, immigrant, or second-generation adult, these struggles may also involve identity, belonging, and cultural expectations.
I’m here to walk with you through your struggles with curiosity, compassion, and deep respect. I believe the heart of therapy is the relationship we build together—a relationship grounded in authenticity, safety, and trust. I aim to provide a space where your experiences, both past and present, can be explored with care and insight.
I provide psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, meeting 1–4 times per week to address both conscious concerns and deeper, unconscious patterns. My focus includes relational challenges, anxiety, depression, grief, and multicultural issues.
I hold advanced training in counseling and am currently a psychoanalyst-in-training at the Chicago Psychoanalytic Institute.
