Introduction

I have always been curious about how people find meaning, connection, and resilience within their own context, environment, and relationships. That curiosity led me to earn my master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Indiana State University, where I studied how identity and systemic factors shape the well-being of the LGBTQIA+ community and other marginalized communities. Today I bring that same research-informed lens to my work as a Licensed Professional Counselor at Healing Humans in Chicago. I see adults, couples, and adolescents ages 10 and up. The people who know me best would describe me as steady and empathetic, and I am genuinely interested in how others think. I believe asking the right question can open up an entire conversation, so I would rather understand your story than rush to fix it. As a feminist and relational-cultural therapist, I look at the whole picture of your life and the systems you navigate every day. Additionally, I draw from CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed work so our sessions offer both deeper understanding and practical tools you can use right away. If you are interested in services with me at Healing Humans, please reach out for a free 15-minute intake call with our coordinator Jillian at 773-692-4193.
