Counselor in Chicago, IL

About My Clients

I work with children, teens, young adults, and families to deepen their emotional insight and awareness, and have a particular passion for supporting teens and young adults as they navigate identity, relationships, and life transitions.

My Background and Approach

I believe that growth and healing are possible for everyone through learning how to care for ourselves, express our truths, and live values-driven lives. I strive to create a collaborative therapeutic environment that feels safe, open, and exploratory, where clients can show up authentically and feel supported in their process. In my work, I integrate mindful, creative, and play-based approaches to help clients build resilience, deepen self-understanding, and develop lasting confidence.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I have worked with clients coming from a variety of backgrounds and life experiences and care deeply about establishing an affirming and inclusive therapeutic relationship, so clients and their families can show up wholly and authentically. I am especially committed to creating a supportive space for members of the LGBTQ+ community, immigrants, people with disabilities, survivors of sexual violence, and those working to break generational cycles of trauma.
