Are you feeling stuck in your relationships, career, and/or sense of self and unsure what is holding you back? I help adults of all ages explore the deeper patterns that shape how they relate to themselves and others. In particular, women I’ve worked with in therapy have often shared that processing their relational concerns with a male clinician has helped them better understand themselves and their partners as well as contributed to positive relational growth and change.

My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, individualized, and insight-oriented. I’ll work with you to make sense of how your salient past experiences might be impacting your current inner world and relationships with important others so that you can move towards having a more grounded, connected, and fulfilling life. Whether you’re feeling dissatisfied in your relationships, struggling with low self-worth, navigating a life transition, or feeling depressed and/or anxious, as a clinician I prioritize creating an open and trusting space with my clients where they can better discover their authentic selves, emotionally heal from current and past relationships, experience personal and interpersonal growth, and obtain deep-rooted change.    

Before becoming a psychologist, I worked in public accounting and recruiting for several years. That lived experience helps me understand the real-world pressures that many clients face, especially around career stress, burnout, identity, and uncertainty.

Prior to joining Chicago Counseling Collective, I previously worked as a staff clinician for eight years at the University of Illinois at Chicago Counseling Center. I completed my postdoctoral fellowship at Princeton University Counseling and Psychological Services and my predoctoral internship at American University Counseling Center in Washington, D.C. I also previously trained for two consecutive years as an advanced practicum extern at DePaul University Counseling Services in Chicago.
