Work HistoryDo parts of you feel stuck? Are you longing for more fulfillment? The process of co-creating a trusting holding space with an experienced, patient professional can lead to profound connection, clarity, and renewed sense of meaning and understanding. I show up with calmness, curiosity, and compassion. My role is to honor your lived experiences while supporting you in moving towards greater alignment and harmony within yourself. I use an integrative, intersectional, and individualized approach including mindfulness, self compassion, and somatic -based therapies to support individuals experiencing chronic distress. My approach is informed by my training in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing, and Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT). I am a Level 1 trained IFS therapist. My experience includes supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds who have histories of trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, complex family dynamics, and substance use. I work from an anti-oppressive framework and invite exploration of institutional impacts on individuals. Therapy creates a safe container for us to be with our pain, metabolize it, and put an end to it. It is an intentional space to be present to exploring experiences, processing feelings, and growing self-compassion. I am licensed to provide therapy in the state of Illinois, including the Chicagoland area and surrounding suburbs. All inquiries are welcome!
