I am a relational psychotherapist and art therapist with over 15 years experience providing individual and group therapy in the Chicago area. I operate from a multi-cultural perspective and value differences in race, sexual orientation, and religion. I treat an array of concerns including: PTSD and complex trauma, anxiety, depression, behavioral problems, narcissistic abuse recovery, parenting, and womens issues.

My approach is compassionate, direct, interactive and caring. I operate from a trauma informed model that is both collaborative and non-pathologizing. I often incorporate mindfulness and creativity into my practice, as I strive to understand and treat each person's needs wholistically. I believe that a trusting therapeutic relationship is the foundation of our work together, and can serve as a template for supporting you in achieving inner well-being. Together we will help you find more effective and rewarding ways of dealing with life’s challenges and so that you will feel more rewarded in your relationships and can engage in your life to it’s fullest.
