Marriage & Family Therapist in Chicago, IL
Supervised by Whitney Christmas, LMFT

About My Clients

I work with families, relationships and individuals with a particular interest in working with teens and parents with children of any age. I am especially interested in addressing teen mood instability, parenting, relationship issues, harm to self or others and gender dynamics.

My Background and Approach

As a systems therapist, I help identify ways external factors such as family, friends, school and work have influenced your life. I use strength-based approaches, mindfulness and narrative theory to help you recognize your own power to pursue growth and healing. I am completing trainings in Gottman Level 1 for couples therapy, Play therapy, and DBT. I am completing my Master's in Couple and Family Therapy at Adler University and am a clinical intern at Empowered Connections Counseling under the supervision of Whitney Christmas, LMFT.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

You are not a problem. There is nothing “wrong” with you. We all face challenges that affect our emotions, relationships and the ways we function day-to-day. Therapy can help you understand and navigate those challenges in a way that feels empowering and positive for your goals. I am a radical queer person with a passion for bringing Socialist concepts to the mental health field.
