I believe therapy is a collaborative space for folks to explore their biographies and learn to hold deeper relationships with their own self and others. Change happens when we feel safe to be curious and understanding of our patterns and choices. I invite clients to explore the intersections of their identities with me as we create a space that is brave and trusting. I see the connection between the external world and our internal experience as central to the therapy process. I'm mindful to social identities, dynamics in family systems, and the larger cultural landscape that impact a person's sense of self.
I work with individuals, couples, and families. I see clients in Evergreen Park, Oak Brook, and Oak Park. The therapeutic space I create is influenced by family systems and relational models. At the core of each of these is dedication to centering people as the expert in their own life and honoring connections with others.
I am passionate about working with my LGBTQI+ community. I use a relational approach, I work with life transitions, opening up or ending relationships, trauma, and parenting concerns. I especially enjoy working with family scapegoats. I believe we are equal partners and co-creators in the therapy space. Please do not hesitate to reach out!
