Psychotherapist in Chicago, IL
Supervised by Tom Doctor, LSW

About My Clients

In my work with individuals, I support those looking to address anxiety, stress management, trauma, gender, sexuality, and sex. As someone who lives with a chronic illness, I also personally understand the complexities of navigating the healthcare system. In my work with couples, I work with folks looking for support with relationship issues within monogamous and consensually non-monogamous relationships. I’m also passionate about meeting the unique needs of neurodiverse and LGBTQ+ couples.

My Background and Approach

I am a collaborative, non-judgmental therapist whose goal is to work together to find the healing process that works best for you. I use a trauma-informed, sex-positive, kink-positive, and neurodiversity-affirming lens in my work with individuals, couples, and families.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I strongly believe that the therapeutic relationship is an essential component of therapy, so I offer an approach based on trust and respect while bringing my genuine & authentic self to sessions. With this, I strive to support my clients so they don’t feel alone when things get messy, nor when they need a bit of humor and lightness to brighten their day.
