You deserve a space where you feel truly seen and heard. 

Specialties: 

When stress, past experiences, or ongoing pressure begin to interfere with your focus, relationships, or overall sense of stability, therapy can provide a steady space to regain perspective and move forward. I work with adults in individual therapy, helping clients better understand long-standing patterns and develop practical ways to manage their impact.

I frequently support clients dealing with PTSD, complex or developmental trauma, dissociation, anxiety, and depression. Many people come to therapy feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure why certain reactions or behaviors continue to show up despite their best efforts. Together, we work to identify what is happening beneath the surface and build tools that support greater consistency, resilience, and clarity in daily life.

My specialization lies in working with individuals, couples, and groups, addressing various challenges related to trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and relationship difficulties.

It is my commitment to creating a safe and affirming space for LGBTQIA+ individuals, providing a nurturing environment for healing and personal growth.

I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University and am presently a PhD student in Counselor Education and Supervision. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC).

My approach is collaborative, grounded, and evidence based. I incorporate psychoeducation on the neurobiology of trauma and stress, helping clients understand how the brain and nervous system shape symptoms like anxiety, emotional reactivity, shutdown, and dissociation. I integrate trauma-informed models such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). Sessions are structured but flexible, with regular reflection on session content to ensure therapy remains aligned with your goals.

I value client autonomy and welcome feedback throughout the process. Therapy is paced to your comfort level, and you are never expected to share more than you’re ready to. The therapeutic relationship is central to effective work, and I prioritize creating an environment where clients feel respected and supported.
