Live the life you want.

in-person and remote therapy for individuals and couples in Chicago

Life can feel overwhelming.

The purpose of therapy is to empower you with the tools and understanding to overcome the situations that are making you feel confused, discouraged, drained and depleted. The trauma of loss, life stressors, societal issues and internal negative narratives can create tension, anxiety and depression that become difficult to manage.

You may find yourself searching for answers with very little resolution. Establishing a trusted and transparent relationship with a qualified therapist is the first step in navigating these difficult times that feel untenable.

I am here to assist you through life circumstances that are holding you back from living a peaceful life and achieving your fullest potential.

Psychodynamic Therapy with Warmth, Curiosity, and Respect

I believe the therapeutic relationship itself can be a powerful tool for healing-providing a space where old patterns may emerge, and together we can work through them in real time.

Therapy is not about me having the answers, but about us working together to uncover the wisdom already within you. My goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and empowered to live a more fulfilling life.

All change is accompanied by a loss. The therapeutic relationship is a place where you should feel safe to express your thoughts, feelings and emotions. My job is to guide you through this process and discover where you want to make some changes.

I am honored to be a part of your journey.
