About My Clients

Taking the step to engage in therapy is a huge step toward initiating change in your life, and I hold great respect for that decision. Whether you are familiar with therapy or treatment or if this is your initial experience, my aim is to create a welcoming and open environment for your journey.

My Background and Approach

I am co-founder of a small group practice on the north side of Chicago. My team and I treat a variety of issues, including but not limited to anxiety, depression, trauma, intimacy, and gender issues. A significant portion of my own training and professional experience has focused on treating co-occurring eating disorders, addictive disorders, and trauma. Through this work, I have discovered that often hidden issues emerge when we address more overt problems. True healing involves delving into and addressing all aspects of one's well-being.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Through a compassionate, integrative, and person-centered counseling approach, I aim to assist in resolving challenging issues, facilitating clarity, and promoting personal growth and transformation. I firmly believe that every person possesses inherent resources that enable them to not just exist but to thrive. My primary objective is to empower individuals to tap into their unique strengths, talents, and gifts. Irrespective of the obstacles they face, each individual deserves the opportunity to embark on a journey of self-discovery and self-realization.
