Guiding You Toward Embodied Healing

Taking the first step, together.

With over five years of experience, I specialize in helping teens and adults learn to connect with emotional experiences, navigate the complexities of life, and heal from sources of trauma.

I believe that while trauma can leave us feeling isolated, true recovery happens through connection. During our work together, you will experience a collaborative partnership where you never have to carry the heavy work of healing alone.

To support your unique journey and experiences, I utilize advanced, evidence-based therapies that help rewire how your mind and body experience relationships and the world around you.

My approach integrates EMDR for processing distressing memories, AEDP for deep emotional and relational healing, and Polyvagal Therapy to help you learn how to regulate your nervous system.

Healing with a Canine Companion

Healing is a deeply relational process, and care can come in many forms. You will often be greeted and accompanied by Momo, my trained Therapy Dog.

Momo provides a steady, calming presence in our sessions. Together, we create a gentle, grounded space where you can slowly process the past and move toward a safer future.

Insurance & Expenses

Therapy can be expenses, and navigating insurance often feels overwhelming.

My practice is proudly in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois (BCBSIL), and I can help you check your benefits so you can know what to expect.

For those with other insurance providers, I operate as an out-of-network provider and can supply you with a Superbill. You can submit this documentation directly to your insurer to help secure any out-of-network reimbursement your plan offers.

Inclusive Care for Every Identity

Therapy should be a safe, deeply validating space where every part of who you are is seen, honored, and respected. I am committed to providing culturally responsive and LGBTQIA+ affirming care that honors your unique background, identity, and lived experiences.

No matter your race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, background, or belief system, you will be met with genuine empathy, active allyship, and an unwavering commitment to walking alongside you without judgment.
