Have you met your best and most aligned self? I want to help you do just that =)
As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, I offer a nonjudgmental, welcoming sessions where I assist my clients in navigating the many challenges we face every day.
I offer couples sessions (including LGBTQIA+, marital, pre-marital, divorce, sex & kink, & poly counseling), individual sessions (specializing in identity, relationships, anxiety, ADHD, and trauma), and family sessions (family dynamics, parenting, reconciliation).
I am very direct and validating in my approach, and usually end sessions with something to work on until we meet again.
I am a lesbian clinician who enjoys helping all members of the queer or questioning community know & understand themselves better. I have a flair for challenging societal norms and programmed conditioning to help clients identify their own true values and desires. I use thought work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and existential methods to address anxiety.
I specialize in behavior therapy for ADHD, including organization, de-shaming, and creating systems and routines that work for you. I use narrative therapy, holistic health, and minimizing substance use to re-regulate the nervous system, process past traumas, and address how they may be affecting your present-day life.
I love helping individuals develop a strong sense of personal identity. I teach clients how to communicate with confidence about their emotions, expectations, and boundaries, in their personal and professional lives.
I assist couples & individuals in relationships, using the Gottman Method, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and sex therapy to help clients improve communication, connection, and relational dynamics.
I use Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), Parent-Management Training – Oregon Method (PMTO), and my Infant Mental Health Endorsement (IMH-E) to help perinatal women, families with children of all ages, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) & Gottman Method communication strategies to assist families with reconciliations.
I have been working passionately over the last 17 years in Illinois, Michigan & Spain with individuals, couples, and families. I speak Spanish as a second language, have a strong neuroscience background, and a wide breadth of pharmaceutical knowledge. I currently work with clients ages 12+.
