Are you ready to overcome life’s challenges, embrace new opportunities, and unlock your full potential? I firmly believe in the transformative power of talk therapy and am dedicated to creating a safe, nurturing, and comfortable space where you can explore personal growth, foster resilience, and build positive, empowering relationships. By recognizing and honoring you as the expert of your own life, we will collaborate closely to help you gain insight, develop coping strategies, and thrive in the face of life’s complexities.
My therapeutic approach is firmly rooted in evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Narrative Therapy, which are thoughtfully tailored to support your unique journey toward healing and self-discovery. My experience spans working with individuals facing trauma, depression, anxiety, PTSD, suicidality, low self-esteem, and more.
Whether you are striving to find balance, rebuild after a setback, or create meaningful connections, I am here to support you every step.I offer therapy services both in-office and through Telehealth, making it easy to access care that fits your needs.I primarily serve Chicago and the surrounding northern areas -Evanston, Wilmette, Glencoe, Glenview, Skokie.
