Feeling stuck, overthinking everything, or unsure what comes next?

 

People often come to me saying some version of, "I can't seem to quiet my mind," "I keep second-guessing every decision," or "My relationships keep ending up in the same place, and I don't know why." Sometimes there's an obvious reason, like graduation, a new job, a breakup, or a move. Other times, things just feel off.

 

Many also tell me they waited because they thought they should be able to figure things out on their own or that their problems weren't "bad enough" for therapy. If any of this sounds familiar, wanting your life to feel different is reason enough to begin.

 

I work with adults, especially people in their twenties and early thirties, who are figuring out who they are and what they want their lives to look like. My work often focuses on ADHD, anxiety and overthinking, perfectionism, self-esteem, identity, relationship concerns, and major life transitions. My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming.

 

I believe therapy isn't just about reducing symptoms. It's about understanding yourself more deeply so you can build a life that feels authentic and meaningful. Together, we'll explore the patterns, experiences, and beliefs shaping how you see yourself and relate to others, while building practical tools you can apply in everyday life. Therapy with me feels like a genuine conversation, not a lecture. I listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, offer new perspectives, and gently challenge you when it feels helpful.

 

Sometimes ADHD is part of the picture. For many adults, it looks like a mind that jumps from thought to thought, tasks that get started but not finished, time that slips away, and a quiet belief that you should just be trying harder. Whether you’ve lived with ADHD for years or are only beginning to wonder whether it might explain what you’ve been experiencing, we’ll work together to make sense of how your mind actually works and build practical ways of living and working that fit it. The goal is to help your mind work for you rather than against you.

 

Relationship concerns are another focus of my work. My training in couples and relationship work shapes how I help clients better understand dating, attachment, communication, and recurring patterns. Whether you're navigating a breakup or hoping to build healthier connections, we'll explore how you relate to others and to yourself.

 

You don't have to perform here, and you don't need the right words. In the first session, we’ll talk about what's been going on, what you hope will be different, and any questions you have about me or how I work. There's no pressure to share everything at once. My hope is that you leave feeling heard, understood, a little less alone, and maybe even thinking it wasn't as scary as you expected.

 

My own experience with therapy taught me the value of self-reflection, growth and asking for support. It's part of why my work centers on self-compassion and becoming your own best friend: learning to trust yourself, letting mistakes inform rather than define you, and owning your story instead of trying to erase it. My work is also influenced by Brené Brown and Gabor Maté, whose perspectives on vulnerability, self-compassion, and trauma reflect many of the values I bring into therapy.

 

Music is central to my life. I'm an active musician and performer here in Chicago, so I know firsthand how creativity, ambition and self-doubt can pull on each other. My practice isn't just for creatives, but if music matters to you, it's welcome in our work. I believe songs can sometimes hold us in ways what words cannot.

 

I see clients in person at our Loop office on Tuesdays and online throughout Illinois. If you work downtown, an in-person session may fit into your lunch break. To see whether we're a good fit, schedule a free consultation. Not ready to book? Send me a message with any questions and I'm happy to answer.
