There you are, feeling like a total mess under the surface while others think you've got it all together. Maybe you can't shake those negative thoughts. Maybe you've been crying more than usual, or maybe you've been quick to anger. It's exhausting, right? Oh, and your relationships are way more complicated than you'd like to let on. At times you seem to be teetering on the edge and lately you're feeling like everything could come crashing down at any minute. To top it off, you aren't sleeping well which only makes things worse. I know. And I'm sorry. In therapy you can start to leave the stress behind for a fresh start.

Welcome! You've taken a great step by exploring new ways to care for yourself through therapy. Many situations and life circumstances bring people to this space, and I look forward to talking with you more about your story. If you're even wondering if therapy might be right for you, then the answer is yes! Over the years, I've developed a passion for working with young adults and supporting the unique challenges they face today. I've found that many young (and even not-so-young!) adults are dealing with major life transitions, and struggle to navigate those new changes at times. This is where therapy steps in!

As a transgender therapist, one of my passions is working with clients who identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ population. I enjoy collaborating with individuals who are exploring their gender and/or sexual identities and hope to offer guidance and compassion as they let go of any residual societal expectations. I have undergone the entire process of hormones, top surgery, and bottom surgeries, and I am open with my clients about my experiences as we work to decrease their gender dysphoria and move toward the eventual goal of gender euphoria.

We are all the sum of our parts, made up of all the little pieces we have collected from the world, from others, and from ourselves throughout our lives. And while we continually craft our ever-evolving lives, some of these pieces may not fit together the way they used to or the way we want them to. In these moments, it can be incredibly difficult to know where we want to go or how to get there. As a queer, trans non-binary, first-generation Macedonian-American, I firmly believe that showing up as your authentic self is an incredibly radical act that can enhance your capacity to learn, heal, love, and grow.

Licensed in IL and IA. I often feel lonely in a crowd, even in a crowd of my friends. I often feel like nothing I do will be good enough. When I walk into a room, I often try to avoid eye contact for fear that I will be seen, yet all I really want is for someone to see me. Does this describe you? If so, you are not alone. Lots of people feel this way, especially those who have experienced difficult childhoods. No matter how successful you may appear on the outside, it's hard to shake the "I'm not good enough" feeling.
