Therapy is a place to reconnect with your authentic self—especially when life feels uncertain or overwhelming. I am LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent-affirming therapist in Chicago. Starting therapy while navigating everything that brought you here in the first place can feel daunting. Whether this is your first time or you’ve been in therapy before, it takes courage to sit with someone new, let down your walls, and share parts of yourself you’ve learned to protect. Wherever you are, I’ll meet you there with respect for the insight you already carry and a commitment to helping you explore new tools and perspectives for growth.
I enjoy working with adults, young adults, and teenagers struggling with neurodivergence, life transitions, mood swings, trauma, low self-esteem & perfectionism. I also enjoy working with individuals who identify as neurodivergent and/or LGBTQIA+, and I am non-monogamy affirming. I love to support individuals 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 how sharing humor, creativity, and interests can support connection and self-expression. Together, we can focus on building self-compassion, stepping out of the noise in your head, or embracing the full human experience. 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 with a minor in Counseling and a certificate in Clinical Psychology. I am currently pursuing a 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 practice, psychodynamic theory, and narrative therapy.
Therapy can be a place to challenge old stories, reconnect with yourself, and build something new. If you’re curious about what that could look like, I’d love to meet with you.
