LPC, NCC
Accepting Clients

I am a psychotherapist and working artist with a passion for helping creative people flexibly respond to life's challenges.

Licensed Professional Counselor in Chicago, IL
Supervised by Madeline Arroyo, LCSW

About My Clients

I believe that with greater understanding and acceptance of our experiences, we can find a more fulfilling life, enriched by more authentic relationships with ourself and others. Being vulnerable can be a scary prospect, but the willingness to reach out to others for help is a strength. Having experienced the benefits of therapy myself, I want to honor your strength by providing a safe, non-judgmental and affirming space to explore your life's challenges and joys.

My Background and Approach

My approach is creative, collaborative, and guided by your personal goals and values. Person-centered at its core, our work together can integrate aspects of existential therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness, and narrative and solution-focused therapies according to what is most meaningful to you. As a teaching artist and former creative consultant, I have helped adults individually and in groups to clarify and work toward their goals, and I have been privileged to work extensively with LGBTQ+ community organizations. I am currently in my final year of the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at Northeastern Illinois University.
