About My Clients

I work with teens and adults across Illinois navigating chronic pain, chronic illness, and physical or developmental disabilities. Whether you are dealing with medical or school burnout, adjusting to a diagnosis, or seeking neurodiversity-affirming support, you deserve a therapist who gets it. You shouldn't have to spend sessions explaining your lived experience. I offer accessible, 100% online therapy where you can show up comfortably as you are.

My Background and Approach

My work is rooted in a humanistic, person-centered approach—meaning I view you as the true expert on your own life, body, and experience. Rather than relying on rigid formulas or trying to "fix" who you are, I focus on building an authentic, collaborative relationship where you feel deeply heard and respected. Together, we can explore the emotional weight of chronic pain, navigate medical or academic fatigue, honor your autonomy, and discover practical ways forward that align with your energy and strengths. Because I offer 100% telehealth sessions across Illinois, you can connect from the comfort and sensory safety of home without the physical strain of a commute. I currently have immediate openings and am in-network with BCBSIL and Cigna (Aetna coming soon).

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a physically disabled therapist, I know firsthand that living in a world not built for your body is exhausting—and that therapy should never add to that burden. I believe the best clinical work happens when it is grounded in genuine empathy, unconditional respect, and true accessibility. You shouldn't have to spend your sessions explaining the basics of ableism, energy pacing, or medical fatigue. I am deeply committed to neurodiversity-affirming, disability-informed care that honors your communication style, pacing, and autonomy—meeting teens and adults right where they are without judgment.
