About me
My approach is collaborative and curious. I bring warmth and compassion as I support you in finding what works best for you. I believe in bringing change from the very first session.
One particular area of interest includes adults in their 20s and 30s who are navigating transitions such as starting or going through school, moving somewhere new, figuring out relationships, or experiencing challenges with work and purpose.
You are an expert in yourself, and I bring in knowledge and ideas to walk with you. I blend methods such as DBT and ACT with breathwork and somatic practice to create a toolkit that is unique to each client. My graduate education from University of Chicago and undergraduate education from Northwestern University combine with ongoing training to allow me to bring in a personalized level of care.
Clients seek therapy with me for anxiety, depression, and other mood concerns, eating disorders, relationship concerns, trauma, family dynamics, and more. Transition times activate these concerns, and I often particularly focus on graduate school, career stress, relocation, and relationship concerns, among other transitions.

I work with Aetna, BCBS PPO, and private pay.
I also offer custom care/concierge care for those wanting more personalized, flexible support.
