As a licensed therapist in Illinois, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on creating a compassionate, affirming space where clients can explore their unique challenges and strengths. I have extensive experience working with young adults, addressing issues ranging from anxiety and relationship dynamics to trauma recovery and personal growth.
My therapeutic practice is deeply rooted in understanding the nuanced experiences of individuals, with a particular commitment to supporting LGBTQ+ communities and those seeking a progressive, non-religious therapeutic approach. I focus on helping clients develop self-love, improve communication skills, and work through challenging emotions like guilt, shame, and isolation.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I support clients in addressing a wide spectrum of concerns, including mood disorders, attachment issues, workplace challenges, and addiction. My goal is to empower individuals to develop resilience, build meaningful connections, and create positive life transformations at their own pace.
