Welcome

About My Practice

Finding the right therapist to accompany you on your healing journey can feel overwhelming. My space honors clients of all sexualities, gender identities, races, relationship structures, kinks, waist sizes, and mannerisms. I practice virtually across California and Illinois, and see in-person clients in Ravenswood Corridor, Chicago.

​

My practice focuses on identity development and the impact of trauma and shame—particularly attachment-related trauma, developmental trauma, being "othered" in society, and breaches of safety or trust—on both relationships and the mind-body connection. These issues often manifest in relationships through breakups, conflicts, emotional shutdowns, selfishness, "narcissism", overthinking, perfectionism, and avoidance patterns. On an individual level, you might experience feelings of “craziness,” racing thoughts, numbness, anxiety, depression, substance use, disordered eating, somatic (body) symptoms, or a whirlwind of competing emotions.

​

Together, we will create a safe space where you can process your experiences, including traumatic ones, and work towards healing. You will learn to feel safe within your own body and cultivate healthier relationships. Rather than fighting your emotions, you will learn to embrace them, listening to what they have to say. Additionally, we will focus on communicating with your body, moving away from the need to “change” it through internal battles or external soothing techniques.
