About My Clients
I work with clients who feel unhappy or stuck in their relationships, their careers, and even life in general to find ways of living that are more honest, authentic, and satisfying. I offer a non-judgmental and collaborative environment where our conversations will help you to recognize how to find meaning, wonder, and joy in your life. An exploration of each person’s unique moods, pleasures, distresses, challenges, and attachments can lead to new and transformative experiences.
My Background and Approach
My approach to therapy is informed by psychoanalytic principles, which enable us to hold the incredible variation of emotional life with attention, engagement, and care. I believe that therapy offers unique moments of joy, seriousness, humor, curiosity, levity, play, trust, and patience that lead to more satisfying ways of being. In 2012, I received a MSW from the University of Chicago and continued on at the university to receive my PhD in Anthropology and Political Science in 2020. Since 2010, I have facilitated a queer support group at Cook County Jail in Chicago, IL - a group I continue to this day. After completing a Postdoctoral Fellowship at Northwestern University in the Sexualities Project, I have returned to clinical practice full-time. I am particularly interested in integrating my experiences with incarceration, race, gender, sexuality, academia, and life transitions into my practice.
