I'm passionate about helping clients move through trauma and discover what's possible when the weight of the past no longer holds you back. Using approaches like EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS)—also known as "parts work"—I help you understand how earlier experiences shape your present mental health, then gently reprocess them so you can heal. But I also know that life's hardest moments aren't always rooted in the past. Together, we acknowledge the real systems and pressures affecting you right now, brainstorm practical solutions, and celebrate the progress you make. I work with young adults and adults navigating ADD/ADHD, anxiety, depression, attachment challenges, racial identity, and women's issues. I'm especially drawn to supporting neurodivergent clients, first- and second-generation immigrants, those managing perfectionism, and couples strengthening their relationships. I offer telehealth appointments and accept Aetna and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois. I'm currently accepting new clients and would welcome the chance to work with you.
