Together, we will:

I can help you pay attention to things you may not know or have not noticed. We will explore what may be hidden or overwhelming, and look at the complicated emotions impacting your life. Working together, we will explore new ways of being yourself.

I specialize in working with people who:

I became a therapist because:

I strongly believe that we heal in relationships and having an empathic and curious stance cultivates connection and healing.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

We are at the beautiful historic Monadnock Building in downtown Chicago, near all public transit and surrounded by parking options.

Therapy can provide a safe and non-judgmental space where you can notice and explore these patterns. We will cultivate a working relationship based on trust, respect, honesty, and empathy.
