You matter, and your needs are important. Embracing change and seeking self-improvement are natural parts of life, and should be viewed as opportunities rather than burdens. While strained relationships, overwhelming emotions, feeling stuck in uncertainty and worry, or adjusting to life transitions may have brought you here, I trust that these can also become great initiations towards a more refined and ideal version of yourself, and the life you wish to live. If you feel ready to embark on a journey toward deeper self-understanding and experience more fulfilling relationships, I am here, and ready to walk side by side with you.

I am a warm, caring, authentic and dynamic therapist. The foundation of my work is based on connection and the idea that when people are aware of their needs, wishes, and feelings they can make choices that bring them satisfaction and fulfillment. It is important to me that my clients feel comfortable expressing themselves and my hope is they will find my practice to be one in which they will be able to freely discuss their thoughts, feelings, and goals.

Life can be challenging, but I believe that connection with ourselves and others can help us navigate it. Therapy can provide an opportunity to heal from the pain of the past, gain insight into ourselves and our circumstances, and put that awareness into practice to live a more meaningful life.

I strongly believe in every individual's ability to bring about meaningful changes through self-awareness. A trusting relationship between a client and therapist offers a safe space to reflect on our experiences, our histories that we carry with us, and the way in which these histories impact our present experiences. I understand that every client's personal journey is unique; therefore, my approach is tailored to fit the specific needs of each client.

As Oscar Wilde once said, "One's real life is so often the life that one does not lead." But, for you, today can mark a decisive step down a path of authenticity, interpersonal connection, and greater ease in your body. As a licensed clinical social worker and practicing writer and artist, I am skilled in collaborating with you to first identify and then reimagine the themes, forms and narratives of your past and your everyday. My objective is to help you rediscover your potential and lead a more satisfying, conscious, and generative existence—all while feeling at home somatically.

I believe deeply in the capacity of people to change. If we are struggling and feel stuck in some ways, it’s not because we want to be miserable or are in some way a "bad" person. We simply lack the right kind of support to find our way out. Talk therapy provides a way out. My clients are men, women and couples, who are intelligent and very high functioning yet find themselves struggling with something, or perhaps just have a sense that they are needing something more. Talk therapy can help us gain a deeper understanding of ourselves which can help us live into a fuller and richer life.

I can help you get off that annoying wire hamster wheel you've been running around in, watching the wheels spin faster and yet going nowhere, staying stuck. When we get caught up looking for answers and solutions, we feel hopeless. It's easy to forget that we humans are strong, brave, and resilient beings, capable of growth and change. In treatment, I will join you in facing the challenge of letting go of the search for answers or a quick fix, in favor of finding freedom and fulfillment in life.

I offer trauma-informed psychodynamic therapy through a leftist/feminist theoretical perspective. I am passionate about serving those who have felt let down by the mental healthcare system or disempowered by past providers, and welcome skepticism about the healthcare system in late-stage capitalism. I draw from IFS, developmental and evolutionary psychology, and more. I reject the hierarchical nature of traditional Western healthcare and encourage collaboration to achieve empowerment. I know effective therapy requires trust, and that I have to earn yours. My goal is to decolonize and destigmatize mental health.

We live in a world where pushing through and tuning out are encouraged at every step. So many of us are caught up going through the motions of life, disconnected from what brings joy and connection with ourselves and with others. Often times we’re filled with shame about not “getting it right.” You’re here because you believe in something more for yourself. I’m here to help find what a fulfilled life means to you, together.

Feeling stuck? Being human is hard. Maybe you’re tired of falling into the same old relationship patterns, feeling weighed down by anxiety spirals, or going through some difficult transitions. Maybe you just want some space to feel heard and seen. Therapy can provide the opportunity to help break us out of patterns that aren’t serving us anymore and get us to a place where we can have more peace, balance, and relief.

I believe therapy is for everyone. There is no problem too big or small that can't be helped through therapy. My goal with all my clients is to create a safe, judgment-free space for self-exploration and healing. I’ve been a practicing Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor since 2015, after receiving my Master’s in Counseling from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. I’ve worked extensively with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, bipolar, trauma, and substance abuse. I work with ages 12 and up. I am happy to meet in person or via telehealth to design a game plan to address your treatment goals.

I am a Licensed Bilingual Psychotherapist with 13 years of experience, treating individuals and families in areas of community mental health, the corporate sector, and private practice. Currently, I work with immigrant families, adults, and adolescents with a history of intergenerational trauma. I believe that what is helpful for the therapeutic process is providing undivided attention, empathic support, and addressing challenges along the way. The path to meaning and development is by coalescing all aspects of the self into this existence. We are not a separate entity but united and connected with everything around us.

Being human is weird and messy. Learning to live with our own thoughts and our internal narratives can be exhausting. I work well with clients addressing concerns related to anxiety, chronic illness, grief, burnout, relational challenges, adult family dynamics, work life balance, feelings of overwhelm, and depression. I have experience working with other health professionals on their own mental health journeys. I enjoy working with "overachievers" and "people pleasers" who are interested in living a life beyond their resume and reconnecting with themselves.I also enjoy supporting clients rebuilding life post brain injury and stroke.
