Providing a space for openness and vulnerability.
Evidence-based Psychotherapy Offerings
Every client walks in with a different history, a different nervous system, and a different set of goals for our work together, so I don't pick one method and apply it to everyone.
I'm trained in several evidence-based therapies (EMDR, CBT, ACT, IPT, STAIR, Gottman Method, etc.) and I draw from them based on what fits you. Some clients need help processing specific traumatic memories. Others need tools for managing anxiety day-to-day. Many need both, plus space to explore who they are outside of who they've had to be. I utilize an integrated approach, and work to tailor my interventions to the client's specific needs.
An emphasis on cultural competence
Every client presents for therapy with a unique set of circumstances. Often, clients have felt their diverse backgrounds have been overlooked societally and in their search for care. I have worked a great deal with the BIPOC and LGBTQIA communities, as well as those with chronic health concerns. My goal as a clinician is to recognize and understand how a client’s lived experience plays a role in their mental health functioning.
Services
Free 15-Minute Consultation
A short, no-pressure call to talk through what you're looking for and decide together whether we're a fit. This is a great opportunity to get any questions you might have answered prior to working together.
Psychotherapy
Weekly or biweekly sessions, online or in person in Chicago. I provide therapy for adults who seeking relief from symptoms that are getting in the way or those who simply want to understand themselves more deeply. Through therapy, you can learn to explore your thoughts in a way that improves self-understanding and enhances quality of life.
Couples Therapy Intensives
Half-day, one-day, or two-day formats for couples who want to make focused progress in a condensed timeframe. Better suited to specific issues than to ongoing relationship maintenance.
