Welcome! I'm a therapist based in the Chicagoland area who offers both in-person and virtual appointments. I'm looking forward to helping you understand and shift the deeper patterns shaping your relationships, emotions, and sense of self.
​
​
We may be a strong fit if:
​
You’re highly capable on the outside—but internally feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in patterns that don’t fully make sense.
You may find yourself managing a lot—responsibilities, relationships, expectations—while quietly feeling emotionally drained, self-doubtful, or unsure how to create real change.
​
You don’t have to keep holding everything together alone.
​
Many of the clients I work with appear grounded and functional externally, yet internally feel:
-
Emotionally exhausted or overwhelmed
-
Stuck in cycles of anxiety or self-doubt
-
Unsure why relationships feel so difficult or draining
-
Frustrated that insight hasn’t led to lasting change
These experiences are not a sign that something is wrong with you—they are often signs of adaptation to earlier emotional or relational experiences that shaped how you learned to cope, connect, and protect yourself.
​
How I work:
​
In therapy, we move beyond surface-level coping to understand the underlying emotional and relational patterns shaping your present experience.
​
Together, we:
-
Identify recurring emotional and relationship dynamics
-
Understand how past experiences may still be influencing current patterns
-
Build insight that leads to genuine, sustainable change—not just short-term relief
My style of therapy is collaborative, thoughtful, and paced in a way that helps you feel both supported and deeply understood.
​
For couples:

Improve communication and emotional understanding

Integrate Gottman Method interventions with deeper relational exploration

Make sense of anxiety, self-doubt, and emotional overwhelm
-
Strengthen self-trust and decision-making

Explore how past relational experiences may still be shaping present patterns

Move toward feeling more grounded, clear, and internally steady
