You don’t have to be fixed to begin—healing starts when you’re met with safety, honesty, and support. I believe change becomes possible when shame is replaced with curiosity, compassion, and connection.

In our work together, I offer a nonjudgmental and supportive space where you can explore these experiences and reconnect with your authentic self. Together, we’ll create room for growth, healing, and a renewed belief that things can get better.

Therapy groups offered by trauma-informed therapist in Chicago

Group Therapy

In addition to individual therapy, I facilitate and co-lead several therapy groups at Mind Body Co-op, including:

• DBT Graduate Processing Group, co-facilitated with Jamie Fleury, BS, MA Candidate. This group supports adults in integrating DBT skills through shared reflection and real-life application.
• Women’s Resilience Group, co-facilitated with Jamie Fleury, BS, MA Candidate, focuses on building emotional resilience, self-trust, and relational coping skills.
• Mixed Gender Trauma and Recovery Group co-facilitated with Zoe Grubbs, MA, LPC, offering relational support for adults processing complex and developmental trauma.
• Reclaiming Your Story: Trauma Healing & Recovery is a supportive group for adults seeking to heal from trauma, reconnect with inner strength, and reclaim their story—together, not alone. Open to all genders, this group offers a compassionate space for connection, reflection, and healing for adults ages 18 and older.

Group therapy can be a powerful extension of individual work, offering opportunities for connection, insight, and accountability.

I also share reflections on disability, care, and support in my writing. You can read more in my blog post, Myths About Disability and Support.

Outside the therapy room, I have volunteered with Tourette Syndrome Camp USA for over 20 years, serving as one of the Directors of Camper Success and supporting children with TS as they have a fun-filled week at an overnight camp.
