About
My therapeutic approach is grounded in the understanding that each individual possesses a complex and dynamic history. I believe that through the counseling process we can collaboratively unearth this story together. This process is transformative, and ultimately can provide the freedom to live a more conscious and fulfilling life.
In my role as a counselor, I encourage clients to approach our sessions with a sense of curiosity that can be mutually cultivated and discovered. My role is to create a space of safety and openness that allows my clients to locate the parts of themselves that may previously have remained quiet and hidden. As these insights come to light, we work together to unlock the wisdom they hold. Through this mutual understanding, the healing process unfolds.
I earned my MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University. My academic interests are in how we make meaning from our experiences. These concepts have informed my interest in working with dying individuals, grief work, and integrating spiritual practices into counseling. I have completed research on spirituality’s impact on substance use, co-morbid opioid use and chronic pain, the intersection between climate change and mental health, and attitudes towards death and dying.
I am currently accepting new patients both for in person counseling and via telehealth.
