We are a psychodynamic practice located in downtown Chicago, offering both in-person and teletherapy sessions. We believe that psychological, emotional, and relational challenges are part of what makes us human, not signs that there is something “wrong” with us. Our therapists can help with many of the challenges of college-life: managing expectations from others and your own, navigating complicated relationships, dealing with feelings of insecurity and self-doubt, understanding and managing ...

We all experience moments where life feels overwhelming, sometimes accompanied by worry about what comes next or how to change patterns we find ourselves repeating again. While some relationships may be sources of stress and pain, relationships where you are able to be your true self can allow for healing and transformation. It is my belief that the more we experience our authentic self, the easier it becomes to remain in connection to others and the world around us. Therapy is a space where you...

Most clients are already aware of what they need or where they want to go. My role is to help you identify what is getting in the way of living out your values each day, and to help you gradually remove those barriers.

I consider myself a generalist but I have specific training in the treatment of depression, anxiety, PTSD, insomnia, su...
