Great to meet you!

Feeling anxious, burnt out, stuck, or just not quite like yourself? I am a Chicago-based therapist working with adults across Illinois navigating the real weight of everyday life — relationships, transitions, depression, stress, and everything in between. I'm relaxed, open-minded, and genuinely nonjudgmental, and I'll create a space where you can just be honest. I'm easy to talk to, and I'll follow your lead.

My approach to therapy

I draw from multiple approaches. What works for one person doesn't always work for another. Depending on what feels right to you, our sessions might include cognitive-behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, psychoanalytic exploration, or straightforward talk therapy. Some clients want clear goals and structure, and others just need room to talk.

What you can expect from me

In our work together, you’ll find someone who is relaxed, genuine, and fully present. I listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and create a space where you can be yourself. There’s no “right way” to do therapy—my goal is to adapt to what you need, whether that’s processing difficult emotions, developing coping skills, or gaining insight into patterns that aren’t serving you.

Virtual sessions are available evenings and weekends. Flexible scheduling to fit around work school, or whatever your week looks like. Ready to get started? Book a session - no lengthy intake process, just a real conversation.
