About My Clients
I work with individuals and couples in Chicago who are navigating big life shifts or feeling a sense of disconnect that’s hard to shake. My ideal clients are often looking for a way to feel more grounded as they manage relationship hurdles or the stress of a new chapter. I provide an inclusive, steady space to help you move toward feeling more settled and confident in your own life. We’ll focus on building healthier patterns and more authentic connections with the people who matter to you.
My Background and Approach
I am an Associate Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (ALMFT) in Chicago with a Master of Science in Applied Human Development and Family Sciences. My background in Sociology also shapes how I work. In our sessions, we won’t just look at you in isolation. We look at the "big picture" of your life, including how your community, environment, and history impact your daily well-being. I help individuals and couples navigate major life transitions and the disconnect that often follows them. Together, we identify the specific patterns in your interactions that keep you feeling stuck in the here and now. We also take time to reflect on where those patterns actually started. By understanding the "why" behind your responses, you can start making more intentional choices in your relationships today. I provide a grounded, inclusive space where you can gain the practical insight and self-awareness needed to feel more settled and confident.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that our well-being is deeply tied to our community, our history, and the systems we move through every day. My work is rooted in LGBTQIA+ affirming care and a strong commitment to racial and social justice. I believe that your lived experience and the impact of the world around you matter in the therapy room. I am dedicated to providing a trauma-informed and inclusive space where you don't have to leave any part of your identity at the door. I value the power of slow and intentional growth as you build more secure connections with the people who matter most to you. My goal is to be a steady and grounded presence while you navigate your own path toward a more authentic and settled life.
