I have been fascinated with the field of psychology and human behavior for as long as I can remember. My love for understanding, helping, and guiding people towards healing has remained with me and grown as I have learned more about myself and my role as a therapist. I feel honored and privileged to be trusted with such a sacred part of people’s lives and to be invited to walk along on this journey towards healing and self-discovery. It is a role I value highly and deeply respect. 

Who I serve

 

As a Marriage and Family therapist I have extensive experience working with couples, families, and individuals from a relational model. My work specializes in the complex and sometimes cross-cultural relationships between individuals as they relate to their environment and each other. Whether one is exploring gender and sexual identity, cultural and ethnic identity, or seeking to translate diverse experiences within a partnership, I will support and guide them through the process.

Prior to starting a private practice, I worked in Chicago Public Schools as a school-based therapist. During my time there, I worked with children and adolescents and their families in both elementary and high-schools, providing counseling and support for students and their parents. While I have experience with a variety of treatment areas, my specialties are in relational growth and healing, mood and anxiety disorders in adults, relational and family conflict, parenting and co-parenting, racial and ethnic identity, life transitions, and gender and sexuality. I am also certified through PREPARE/ENRICH to provide premarital counseling.
