Mental Health Counselor in Chicago, IL

About My Clients

I have been grounded in supporting Black, Indigenous, and people of color, the LGBTQIA+ community, and other intersectional identities in navigating points of rupture, disconnected desires, and feeling stuck. As an individual and relationship therapist, creating an inclusive environment for gender-affirming, ENM, poly, sex-positive, and BDSM & kink-affirming care is part of my practice.

My Background and Approach

My work is focused on curiosity and discovery, finding pleasure, holding space for non-judgement, and dismantling systems of harm with restorative thoughts & experiences. For those who feel lost and do not know where to turn, I will be an active participant in the empowerment of your life. Whether your focus is on community, founded family, friendships, or other intimate partnerships, I strive to understand and support the relational work that encompasses my clients’ lives. This includes creating dialogue and light to liberation, uncovering confidence regarding intimacy, and restoring parts of the self harmed by trauma. As an EMDR-trained therapist, trauma recovery and harm reduction are instrumental to creating a life cultivated by safety, support, love, and care. I received my Master’s degree in Counseling with a specialization in Forensic Counseling from Adler University; the degree allows me to provide services for anyone who has been affected by the criminal justice system.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a culturally conscious counselor, I actively participate in conversations and organizing related to social justice issues, to achieve continually learning, unlearning of harm, and experienced growth.
