Trauma-focused psychotherapy in Chicago and Illinois.

Do you ever feel misunderstood, disconnected, or unsure of who you truly are? Perhaps you’ve carried invisible wounds for years—feeling unseen, unheard, or weighed down by relationships that never felt safe. You don’t have to navigate this alone.

Maybe you’ve hidden parts of yourself to be accepted, or felt shame and guilt for simply trying to be authentic. Sometimes, it can even feel like you’ve been punished for showing up as your true self. In therapy, we’ll unpack these experiences together, creating space for the parts of you that need compassion, healing, and acceptance.

As James Baldwin reminds us, “Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.” This truth guides my work. Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about facing what hurts, reclaiming your voice, and building a life that feels more authentic and meaningful.

I earned my Master’s in Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, where I was trained to understand individuals within the context of their relationships, cultures, and environments. My therapeutic style is integrative, drawing from psychodynamic therapy, Internal Family Systems, and mindfulness-based practices—always tailored to meet your unique needs and values. Before private practice, I trained in community mental health, where I supported individuals navigating addiction, trauma, and identity challenges. These experiences deepened my commitment to providing inclusive, nonjudgmental care that honors each person’s story.
