About My Clients
Do you ever feel stuck in the same patterns in your relationships or unsure why certain experiences affect you so deeply? Maybe you want to understand yourself better, but don’t always know where to start. I believe our connections shape who we are, and that the right therapeutic relationship can help bring clarity and growth. Together, we can explore your story with empathy, curiosity, and respect, helping you gain insight, feel understood, and move toward healing and a stronger sense of self.
My Background and Approach
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a master’s degree in counseling from Northwestern University, where I trained in a psychodynamically oriented CACREP program and completed clinical training in a psychodynamic private practice. My approach integrates psychodynamic insight into relational patterns and unconscious processes with a person-centered philosophy grounded in empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard. I believe our connections shape the human experience, and that the therapeutic relationship, built on multicultural awareness, kindness, and understanding can foster meaningful growth. I work collaboratively with clients to validate their experiences, reflect on their personal stories, and gain clarity and insight that support lasting healing and wellness.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that our relationships shape who we are and how we move through the world. When we feel stuck in painful patterns, confused by our emotions, or disconnected from ourselves or others, it doesn’t mean something is wrong with us, it often means there is a story that deserves to be understood. Insight, empathy, and a supportive relationship can help people make sense of their experiences and grow in meaningful ways. My training and clinical experience has taught me how powerful it can be to explore the deeper patterns in our lives. But just as important to me is the belief that people heal in relationships. That’s why I approach every client with empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel respected, understood, and safe to explore your story. My goal is to walk alongside you as we reflect on your experiences, gain clarity and insight, and work toward the healing and growth you want in your life.
