The Full Story

Our 20s and 30s can be thrilling and full of possibility, but life transitions can also feel overwhelming, disorienting, or emotionally complex. Please know you’re not alone. I work with clients who are experiencing:

​​

  • anxiety

  • stress

  • low mood and bipolar moods

  • loneliness

  • eating concerns and body image concerns 

  • feeling emotionally overwhelmed

  • sense of social disconnection

  • other responses

​​​​​​

With me, therapy begins with genuine human connection. I believe the foundation of meaningful change lies in the trust we build together. My warm, compassionate approach creates a safe, welcoming space where you can share openly and feel truly heard. Through this connection, we can work collaboratively toward your healing, growth, and self-discovery.

​​

I believe there is no single perfect path - only the one that is uniquely yours. Therapy, to me, is a collaborative process, and together we’ll co-create an approach that aligns with your individual goals.

 

I draw from a range of modalities - including ACT, DBT, RO-DBT, Unified Protocol (UP), somatic practices, breathwork, and mindfulness - to best support your needs. I continue to deepen my expertise in these areas through ongoing training, building upon the strong foundation I developed at the University of Chicago’s Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy, and Practice and Northwestern University’s School of Education and Social Policy.
