I strive to offer a safe, non-judgmental space where collaboration and authenticity can flourish. Emotional growth takes courage and prioritizing our own healing can be revolutionary, not just for us but also for our families and our communities.

I work with individuals and couples struggling with issues related to intergenerational trauma, attachment, life transitions, career, sex and sexuality, gender identity, parenting, anxiety, and self-esteem.

I see clients in both Roscoe Village and the West Loop as well as offering video therapy. Please navigate to our website to make an online appointment today.
