Addictions Counselor in Chicago, IL

About My Clients

I specialize in treating teens, adults and couples working through generalized anxiety, OCD, trust issues, life adjustments, addiction, social anxiety, guilt, addiction, depression, shame, breakups, self criticism, infidelity, lack of fulfillment, relationship issues, college issues, boundaries, sex issues, kinks, ethical non-monogamy, low self esteem, family issues, attachment issues, codependency, and trauma.

My Background and Approach

I am grounded in CBT, which works to uncover how thoughts influence emotions and behaviors, and ACT, which aims at making room for uncomfortable emotions while striving to intentionally work toward living by one’s values. I use attachment theory and psychodynamic theory to help clients gain insight on how our early experiences impact present relationships. I am passionate about building a collaborative therapeutic relationship with clients based on empathy, safety, and authenticity. I offer a calm and warm presence and I strongly value creating a nonjudgmental safe haven where clients feel comfortable being open about their struggles. I approach therapy with genuineness, patience, authenticity and compassion.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
