Life can be overwhelming. I tailor therapy to help you explore internal experiences and barriers to living an enriched, full and meaningful life. I specialize in the treatment of eating disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar, grief & loss, relationship and attachment issues, and other general life and work stressors in children, adolescents & adults. I utilize DBT, CBT & ACT to provide you a set of useful coping skills. My therapeutic work is centered around building a strong therapeutic alliance & creating a safe and comfortable space for you. I use a strengths based, relational and nonjudgmental approach. Together we work to help you establish a values driven life in the hopes of helping you create a life worth living. I received my Master’s degree in social work from Loyola university Chicago upon which I completed my internship at the Evanston Hospital Bridge’s program. Before pursuing private practice, I worked at Eating Recovery Center in Chicago in all levels of care. The therapy process can be daunting but I am here to help you every step of the way.
