Therapist in Lakeview Chicago providing psychotherapy for burnout and self-esteem

As a therapist, I believe healing begins in a trusting, collaborative relationship. My ideal client is someone who’s curious about the patterns, experiences, and emotions that shape their life—and is open to exploring both the pain and potential of their story. Together, we’ll process past, present, and future moments of impact in a space designed to meet you where you are.

Currently, I offer individual therapy in Chicago (Lakeview) and across Illinois via telehealth for adults and emerging adults experiencing:

• Anxiety and overthinking
• Depression and emotional numbness
• Burnout, self-doubt, or identity shifts
• Grief and loss
• Trauma, PTSD, and nervous system dysregulation
• Life transitions, relationship struggles, and low self-worth

In this work, I integrate a range of therapeutic modalities, including:

• Attachment-Based and Psychodynamic Therapy
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Person-Centered and Interpersonal Approaches
• Somatic and Mind–Body Integration

At the same time, therapy with me is grounded in the belief that we all have the capacity to heal when given space to explore safely. I view the therapy room as a collaborative process, free from judgment and deadlines—just presence, support, and curiosity.

Psychotherapy Background and Clinical Training

I hold a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University, where I trained at The Family Institute and the Mind Body Co-op. I earned dual undergraduate degrees from Loyola University Chicagoin English and Psychology.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a clinic coordinator in a private practice, which inspired me to shift from administrative care to direct support for those seeking mental health services.

Group Therapy

In addition to individual therapy, I co-facilitate therapy groups designed to foster connection, insight, and healing within a supportive community setting.

• Mixed-Gender Trauma and Recovery Group co-facilitated with Courtney Thompson, LSW, Psy.D. Candidate,
  this group supports adults processing complex and developmental trauma in a relational, trauma-informed environment.
• Self-Criticism to Self-Compassion Group co-facilitated with Isa Bogart, MA, LPC,this group helps participants explore inner critical patterns and cultivate greater self-compassion, emotional flexibility, and self-acceptance.

Life Outside the Therapy Room

Outside of the therapy room, I love connecting with friends and family over delicious food—whether cooking, thrifting for vintage dinnerware, or planning elaborate themed dinners. I believe in finding small moments of joy, even amid life’s challenges.
