Therapy is a place to reconnect with your authentic self—especially when life feels uncertain or overwhelming.
I am an LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent-affirming therapist in Chicago. I support clients with compassionate and affirming care. Beginning therapy while navigating everything that brought you here can feel daunting; however, taking the first step shows courage. Although it may feel intimidating, sitting with someone new and letting down your walls can open space for healing. Wherever you are, I will meet you with respect for the insight you already carry and a commitment to exploring new tools and perspectives for growth.
Neurodiversity-affirming therapist and counseling support
I enjoy working with adults, young adults, and teenagers struggling with neurodivergence, life transitions, mood swings, trauma, low self-esteem, and perfectionism. Additionally, I provide counseling for anxiety and support individuals who identify as neurodivergent and/or LGBTQIA+, and I am non-monogamy-affirming. I also enjoy supporting people who want to feel more authentic, release shame, and reconnect with their sense of self or inner child.
In my work, I value the power of the therapeutic relationship and the ways that sharing humor, creativity, and interests can support connection and self-expression. As an LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist in Chicago, I work to create a space where all parts of you are welcome. Together, we can build self-compassion, step out of the noise in your head, and embrace the full human experience. Moreover, I aim to co-create a space that is both serious and lighthearted—challenging when needed and always compassionate.
I hold a BS in Psychology from Indiana University Bloomington, a minor in Counseling, and a certificate in Clinical Psychology. I am currently pursuing an MA in Counseling at Northwestern University. My approach is trauma-informed and integrative, drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness and somatic practices, psychodynamic theory, and narrative therapy.
Therapy can be a space to challenge old stories, reconnect with yourself, and build something new. If you’re curious about what that journey might look like, I would love to meet with you.
