Compassionate Care for Trauma, Anxiety & 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 struggle with feeling numb, directionless, or overwhelmed by anxiety, traumatic stress, and the pressure to figure it all out. If you’ve experienced pain that’s been ignored, misunderstood, or minimized—especially in relation to trauma, addiction, or identity—you deserve a space where your story is held with respect, care, and validation.

As a trauma therapist in Chicago, I specialize in working with teens and adults who are navigating:
•    Anxiety disorders and chronic stress
•    PTSD and complex trauma
•    Addiction and co-addiction
•    Disordered eating and body image concerns
•    LGBTQIA+ identity development and systemic oppression

Trauma often convinces us that we’re unsafe, unseen, or unworthy of help. My Approach is  Relational, Trauma-Informed, and Collaborative.

My work is rooted in creating a warm, secure relationship where we can challenge that narrative together. I use a relational psychodynamic lens and incorporate:
•    Individual and group psychotherapy
•    Trauma-sensitive, LGBTQIA+ affirming practices
•    Collaboration with allied professionals for holistic support
I view therapy as a process of co-authorship—sometimes messy, often nonlinear—where you reclaim your story, rewrite painful chapters, and begin to live in ways that feel grounded and true to you.

I earned my Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology from Adler University and my B.A. in English from Northwestern University. Over the past five years, I’ve supported clients in a variety of clinical settings—from outpatient to group therapy contexts—and bring both clinical rigor and authentic presence to my work.
Clients describe me as empathic, thoughtful, and deeply human in the therapy room. I am honored to sit with people in their darkest and most transformative moments and walk with them toward healing.

I provide in-person sessions in Chicago and virtual therapy across Illinois. Whether you’re just starting therapy or returning to deepen your work, I offer a space that is inclusive, nonjudgmental, and entirely your own. Let’s begin the work of healing and discovering what’s possible, for you.
