I believe that each person is an expert on their own unique experience. I view my role as being a guide in assisting people towards discovering and reaching their goals towards enhancing and enriching their lives. I use a strength-based, person-centered approach to build a strong foundation for the therapeutic relationship. I strive to provide a safe, open environment where I can meet my clients where they are at and help them on their journey. In addition to working in a private practice setting, I have provided case management and psychotherapy at two different Community Mental Health organizations, a domestic violence center, a youth shelter, a specialized facility, and a hospital. I have worked with teens with learning obstacles and behavior concerns, women who experienced sexual assault and domestic violence, young adults who experienced first episodes of psychosis, life transitions, eating disorders, and stress management, couples experiencing communication and trust issues, and adults with mental illness and co-occurring disorders.
My goal is to help clients build resilience, strengthen coping strategies, and improve overall well-being. I have experience working with diverse populations, including individuals managing anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. My counseling style is collaborative, empathetic, and tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals to support their healing and growth. I believe in creating a safe, affirming space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered. I specialize in trauma therapy, PTSD treatment, anxiety and OCD treatment, and substance use/addiction. I have additional experience working with survivors of domestic/intimate partner violence and human trafficking. I have recently obtained my credential as a Certified Trauma Professional (CTP).
Psychotherapy is a highly individualized practice that can assist with a broad set of life problems. Each session carries the potential for change and growth. In my practice I strive to create deeply personal and meaningful experiences. I believe we best accomplish this by developing a mutual understanding of the concerns that have brought you to therapy, and then embarking on a collaborative process towards addressing your goals for treatment. I enjoy and welcome working with people from diverse backgrounds on a wide range of issues. I am a clinical associate faculty and an advanced candidate at the Chicago Center for Psychoanalysis. I earned my masters degree at the University of Chicago and worked for over 10 years as a community social worker in the psychiatry department at Northwestern Memorial Hospital.

We’ve all been the patient/client. Hoping to connect with someone who truly hears us and genuinely cares. Life often brings the unexpected challenges we never planned for or imagined. But with the right support, we find a way through. I’ve had these moments too, and I deeply believe in the power of the people who surround you aid in healing, growth and the path you were truly meant for. After 14 years as a Physician Assistant, working in diverse clinical environments, I’ve chosen to focus my career on what’s needed now more than ever: compassionate, comprehensive mental health care. I approach this professional role with openness, empathy, and a deep commitment to your well-being. My goal is to support you in finding mental wellness, while also assessing any physical or medical factors that may be impacting how you feel because true care sees the whole person. You can trust that with our team, your mental and physical health are in compassionate, capable hands.
Modern humans have existed on earth for about 200,000 years, while the modern office (and many other stressors in our lives) emerged less than 200 years ago. We really are in uncharted waters. With such a minuscule amount of human history lived under these conditions, it is no surprise that so many of us struggle to make our way. Everyone deserves to have someone in their corner. Everyone deserves to aspire, achieve, dream, thrive, and rest. The miracle of the therapeutic relationship is not just that relief is possible, but that we are active participants in deciding how that looks for ourselves. Together, we hold space to elevate your experience and to discover and endeavor towards your goals. Taking what resonates with you (and setting aside what doesn't), we can work within any of life's domains where we believe change is possible, and can go inward with acceptance and mindfulness to sit with the parts of our realities that are beyond our control. At the risk of sounding cliche - trying therapy is a brave act in a challenging world. Goodness of fit is a valid concern, and you deserve to find a therapist that will work for you! Get in touch today, and we can schedule a 15-minute phone call to explore working together.
