About My Clients
I enjoy collaborating with clients navigating life transitions, gender and sexual orientation exploration, grief and loss, and stage of life concerns. I am an LGBTQIA+, sex worker, kink, poly, and neurodivergent affirming practitioner.
My Background and Approach
I am an Illinois LPC who enjoys being witness to the transformation of clients as they reach their therapeutic goals. A graduate from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology, I earned a Master of Forensic Psychology in 2019. I completed my clinical training at Center on Halsted, the Midwest’s most comprehensive community center dedicated to securing the health and well-being of Chicagoland’s Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) community. Additionally, I completed the LGBTQ Behavioral Health Training Consortium, a partnership with Howard Brown Health providing didactic presentations specific to working within the LGBTQ community. I have also worked with incarcerated and justice-involved individuals, as well as in maximum security crisis intervention.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am a loud and proud former sex worker and fetish aficionado and consider my time doing that work to have been instrumental in shaping the person I have become. I conceptualize clients from an existential humanistic perspective, and consider authenticity, courage, responsibility, and choice to be key contributors to living a meaningful life. I perceive client/therapist relatedness to be the avenue through which to explore not only problems, but possibility!
