Compassionate Trauma informed Addiction Counseling & Identity Exploration

“It’s like life came with an instruction manual—and everyone got one but me.”
If that resonates with you, you’re not alone.

Many people experience emotional overwhelm, disconnection, or persistent anxiety—especially when navigating additction, trauma, identity questions, or the pressure to have it all figured out. If you’ve felt minimized, misunderstood, or invisible, you deserve a space where your story is honored with care, validation, and respect.

As a trauma therapist in Chicago, I work with teens and adults who are navigating:

• Anxiety disorders and chronic stress

• PTSD and complex trauma

• Addiction, co-addiction, and recovery

• Body image concerns and disordered eating

• LGBTQIA+ identity exploration and systemic oppression

My Approach

Trauma has a way of making us feel unsafe, unseen, or unworthy. My therapeutic approach is relational, trauma-informed, and collaborative. I create a warm, secure environment where we can gently challenge those internalized beliefs and build new ways of understanding and relating to yourself.

I view therapy as a co-authored process—nonlinear and deeply personal. Together, we explore and rewrite painful narratives, reclaim your story, and make space for healing and growth.
