Business Excerpt
I am a BIPOC affirming, anti-racist, LGBTQ+ inclusive therapist who strives to hold space for your unique narrative and intersectional self. I am an active therapist in that I ask questions and offer consistent feedback to guide the session's focus. I utilize an integrative style - applying a variety of approaches to best meet the needs of each client/couple and their concerns. It is my belief that the counseling process is one in which all parties are actively involved. I recognize the need for flexibility and creativity to address the mind and body. My approach focuses identifying physical cues, recognizing thoughts, considering consequences, implementing solutions, choosing behaviors, and promoting expression. I believe that therapy is a proven, effective way to help people overcome emotional problems. I find satisfaction in being able to guide clients on their journey as they navigate obstacles and endure struggle, only to come out healthier and more confident. All humans struggle with their feelings and its a sign of strength and intelligence to know when to seek support. Any professional who has useful skills and the right tools, is an asset, not a liability.
Business Description

I am a licensed clinical professional counselor with over twenty years of experience, who earned my masters degree through Roosevelt University in Chicago, IL. In addition, I am a Gottman Seven Principles Program Educator, certified clinical hypnotherapist and hold an advanced certification in stress management. I have worked at all levels of mental health care from inpatient to outpatient, private to community, not for profit to Fortune 500 companies.

I work with individuals and couples within the bi, poly, trans, and kink communities to address issues including trust, vulnerability (physical, emotional), sexuality & sexual identity, communication, and conflict. I often meet with couples who are looking to improve their relationship, enhance mutual understanding and compassion for each other, create a closer connection, heal after an infidelity, handle recurrent arguments and money conflicts, address sexuality (including divergent desires), or decide if they should stay together or part ways.

I emphasize the importance of forming a connection with partners. This means there is an implied understanding of values, a common frame of reference, a series of shared experience and a sense that you are all on the same page. These connections form the bonds that foster trust and promote intimacy.
