About

Psychotherapy is a unique space that offers a supportive, non-judgmental environment in which one may explore, heal, understand, challenge, and grow.  I specialize in working with adults and adolescents who are struggling with anxiety, panic, depression, life-transitions, and trauma.  Stress, worry, overwhelm, fear, disconnection, and confusion can interfere with living meaningfully, effectively, and feeling fully ‘alive.’   Psychotherapy can offer a space to deeply explore these conflicts, and untangle interferences.  In therapy, we can work toward your goals, reduce suffering, and increase connection with yourself and others.

I am deeply passionate about engaging with clients in the space between the science and art of psychotherapy.  While my approach is informed by research, theory, and experience, it is the particularities of your goals, experiences, and our working relationship that will shape the therapy.  The type of work I do emphasizes active collaboration, curiosity, and values respectful understanding of how life experiences and relationship patterns can impact current feelings, interactions, and behaviors.

Alongside my clinical practice, I am Clinical Associate Faculty at the Chicago Center for Psychoanalysis (CCP), supervise clinical work, and intermittently teach at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in the doctoral clinical psychology program.  I also teach and consult for psychotherapists living in China with the Psychoanalytic English Consultation for Chinese Psychotherapists.
