Self-Harming Therapists in Edgebrook, Chicago, IL

Often times our small wins and progress gets overshadowed by life’s stressors and chaos. In the space I provide for clients, we will always acknowledge and identify all wins and strengths in hopes to build up self-esteem, confidence, and motivation to move towards goals you may have, as well as developing a healthier thought process. If you’re looking for a space free of judgment, a space to make sense of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors (all while sharing some good laughs!), I encourage you to take the first step towards investing into your mental health. It’s not always easy, but it is always worth it.

I work with clients of all ages who are experiencing challenges related to anxiety, depression, life transitions, and other concerns that are impacting well-being or life functioning. Providing a safe and supportive environment is important to me as we work together to navigate stressors and build new insight and skills. In working with children, I work closely with parents as well to support families in improved communication and functioning. I am also passionate about working with the LGBTQIA+ community.

I believe in the importance of building a therapeutic relationship and comfortable environment and therefore believe in being authentic and realistic with clients. I find this to be especially important in working with adolescents, young adults, families, and those who hav experienced trauma. I enjoy getting to understand their prospective and being able to advocate for them as well as to teach them to advocate for themselves and learn the skills that they need to communicate more effectively with others. I also believe that working with families and parents creates more success for everyone and therefore facilitate more change.

My clinical work is grounded in transformative justice, abolition, anti-racist and anti-oppressive practice, and trauma-informed care. I have extensive experience and interest in working with individuals navigating complex trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, substance use concerns, and those exploring sexuality and gender identity. As a queer-and-trans-identified clinician, I have a deep commitment to working with individuals identifying within LGBTQ+ communities and providing affirming support to individuals identifying as kinky, poly, and/or practicing non-monogamous relationship structures.

I am a licensed social worker with over 15 years of experience working with children, adolescents and families. In addition to office-based settings, I have worked in intensive in-home treatment and as a school counselor. Many years of my career were spent as a clinical consultant for a research-based, family-focused treatment model, Multisystemic Therapy (MST). Through my work, I have gained advanced knowledge in family and couples therapy, behavioral modification, and cognitive behavioral therapy. My approach is strength-based and solution-focused. I believe that all individuals have assets that can be leveraged to foster change, and that my role is to support clients in living a full and rewarding life. In my approach with children and adolescents, I view parents/caregivers as the experts on their children, and essential partners in ensuring successful treatment. Understanding family dynamics and promoting healthier patterns are special areas of interest, and utilized in my therapeutic approach. I commend you for taking the first step in researching a therapist for yourself or loved one!
