I am a graduate from Northwestern University's Family Institute, and Owner of Watch Hill Therapy, Trauma Specialty Practice with in person locations around Chicagoland. Our clinicians use a holistic, relational, and collaborative approach to address the many needs that being traumatized or stress creates in individuals, children, and families. We are invested in your long term recovery and the quality of care you receive.
I specialize in relationship difficulties, developmental trauma (CPTSD, OSDD, DID), and adult trauma (PTSD).
Watch Hill is located in the heart of downtown Chicago, Ravenswood, and in McHenry Co. We also practice virtually with anyone in Illinois.
