Join us at Room to Grieve, a virtual grief and loss support group for you to have a welcoming community, an understanding space, and room to process your experience of grief and all that comes with it. Through supportive conversations, reflective exercises, and meaning making activities, we will learn together about the 5 stages and beyond, complicated grief, forgiveness, creating a narrative about the loss, reminiscence and life review, and how to create rituals and self care methods when sadness and loss overwhelms our ability to cope.

I believe healing is possible through an invitation to connect with your body, emotions, and thoughts. To build understanding about how your experiences, relationships, and culture have impacted your life. I seek to be a companion in the process of sharing your personal story as you sift through the well of your entire lived experience to discover your authentic voice. Together, we will use body based interventions, emotionally focused work, and brain-based approaches like EMDR to reclaim the chapters of your life where difficult experiences stole your sense of who you are, and nurture growth, healing, and overcome loneliness.

I strongly believe that human growth requires non-judgment, authenticity, and the willingness to face one's challenges head on. It is a deep passion of mine to foster a space that welcomes vulnerability and self-compassion. I believe that none of us can go through our life's journey alone. In our therapeutic relationship, it is my hope that you will never feel alone on your own path through healing. I aspire to offer guidance as clients work to acknowledge their individual strengths and positives within their lives in order to achieve their personal goals.
This is a supportive space to process the impact of caregiving. Caregiving can be mentally, emotionally, and physically challenging, complicates existing relationship dynamics, and is undervalued labor. You'll have the opportunity to give and receive support to others; process and reflect on themes and challenges; and take time for self compassion. Each session offers facilitated conversation and 10min of accessible yoga or mindfulness. Open to IL or MN residents caring for a loved one with a chronic or terminal illness, physical and/or mental. We ask for an initial 8 session commitment, with the opportunity to continue.

I love building relationships, and helping you explore the patterns and past experiences that shape your life today. I use a trauma-informed approach, which means co-creating safety and autonomy in session so that you can build trust in yourself. I love working with folks that are interested in reflective conversation, mindfulness, parts work, and body awareness as tools to know themselves more deeply. My identities as a biracial immigrant, abolitionist, and reproductive justice advocate inform my practice, and I come to therapy with the awareness that systemic inequity impacts our mental health.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) has been shown to be an effective treatment for a number of issues including anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship problems.

The goal of the treatment is to help build skills to increase your effectiveness in managing difficult emotions and situations while also learning to identify behaviors that promote stability and health.

I'm an experienced psychotherapist working with adolescents and their families dealing with depression, anxiety, self-injury, substance use, school anxiety and school refusal, hallucinations, suicidal ideation, family conflict and more. While my background and passion is adolescent, family and young adult mental health counseling, I am also experienced with adults in all life stages. My goal in treatment is to help clients improve internal resources as well as external support to meet their goals.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides an opportunity to gain the skills necessary for identifying, experiencing and regulating emotions, in order to interact more effectively with ourselves and others. In this skills training group, discussions focus on managing emotions, learning to be more effective in relationships, and learning techniques for tolerating distress. The overall approach to therapy is called "dialectical" because it seeks balance between opposites--such as acceptance and change, validation and challenge, rigidity and flexibility. Underlying DBT is the practice of "mindfulness." Drawn from the Zen tradition of meditation, mindfulness is about attending to the moment, without judgment or impulsivity.
Hello there! I would love to hear from you about what's going on, and I think I can help. I am a licensed clinical professional counselor specializing in child, adolescent, adult, family, and couples psychotherapy. I provide treatment for psychological and emotional issues using an integrative Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) approach combined with a psychodynamic perspective. During crisis, it is important for my clients to have the skills to gracefully endure their suffering (the DBT component)--all the while keeping in mind the harder to see big picture where deeper issues occur at an unconscious level (the psychodynamic component).

I was fortunate to have received outstanding academic training as well as exceptional clinical and research opportunities (Northwestern University Medical School; University of Chicago Hospitals) that helped me develop a unique skill-set and expertise to help patients resolve a wide variety of difficulties that inhibit them from functioning at their optimal levels of emotional health and wellness. My clinical practice is empirically (research) based. This "best practice“ approach incorporates the latest empirically-based research findings from the fields of clinical psychology, health psychology and behavioral medicine.
