About My Clients
I delight in working with people to build upon the strengths they have. I work with adolescents (13 years and older) and young adults and specialize in anxiety, depression, and grief. I welcome the full person into therapy and enjoy working with individuals exploring their identities, particularly those who are also part of the LGBTQ+ community. I also invite those who are adjusting to new stages of life or relationship changes.
My Background and Approach
My approach to therapy is trauma-informed, relational and depth-oriented. With creativity and warmth, we will explore the patterns, identities, and experiences that have contributed to who you are. I prioritize understanding what is most important to you as we develop goals for therapy. I draw from evidence-based practices including Motivational Interviewing (MI), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness. I believe that community, humor, and connection to our surroundings are all important to our development.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I bring a decade of experience working in school, college counseling, outpatient, and community-based crisis response settings. I have a depth of understanding of educational systems in Chicago. I encourage you to reach out for a free 30-minute phone consultation to see if we may be a good fit.
