About

Bridging what has been, what is, and what may become.

Working with me

I am a Chicago-based Licensed Clinical Psychologist. I meet each person with curiosity and care, making room for the complexity of their experiences and the connections between them. Together, we explore how past experiences shape your present relationships, emotions, and sense of self. My work draws on relational and psychodynamic approaches, attachment theory, and developmental perspectives. I work primarily with adults. You do not need a diagnosis or a clear goal to begin. We can start with what feels most important to you.

Working together

  • First conversation. Discuss what brings you in, your hopes and questions, and whether we may be a good fit.

  • Shared understanding. Early sessions explore your concerns, experiences, relationships, strengths, and goals.

  • Ongoing work. We work collaboratively, revisit our direction, and adjust the pace as your needs evolve.

Focus

  • Anxiety & emotional distress. Worry, overwhelm, self-criticism, and perfectionism.

  • Trauma & early experiences. Painful family experiences, shame, and disconnection.

  • Relationships. Intimacy, trust, boundaries, and recurring conflict.

  • Identity & life transitions. Self-worth, belonging, cultural transitions, and changing roles.
