Hello

Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Chicago, IL

About My Clients

Whether it’s because you’re dealing with the chronic stress of relationship or parenting issues, you’re having difficulty adjusting to life changes, or you’re simply feeling “stuck”, my goal is to help you gain acceptance and compassion towards yourself and work towards the possibility of change.

My Background and Approach

My style is warm, conversational, & practical… with a little humor. I use an integrative approach that brings together knowledge of relational & developmental trauma, attachment, and interpersonal neurobiology. I offer support to those who hope to experience relief and find new ways to connect & relate to self and others.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I work with individuals & parents who often feel overwhelmed as a result of experiencing chronic unpredictability, family conflict, unhealthy or antagonistic relationship patterns, complex trauma, neurodivergence, or feeling othered. It's important you feel comfortable & respected in therapy & I invite you to contact me to determine if we may be a good fit. Diversity is more than acknowledging, it is an active affirmation that individuals and communities deserve to be recognized, respected, and embraced in their individualities, uniqueness, and differences. I am committed to continual learning and respecting neurodiversity, physical and invisible disabilities, anti-racism, affirming LGBTQ+, and being multi-culturally sensitive. I am committed to prioritizing humanity and, social justice & equity,
