Currently, I am only accepting new clients who are within the LGBTQIA2+ community.
I am a trans and queer LCSW and artist with 15 years of experience in community mental health. I completed my MSW and MA in Gender Studies at Loyola University Chicago. Before grad school, I worked in reproductive justice, body autonomy, and community care. Life experiences have led me to provide therapy with a focus on community care through an anti oppressive lens.

I have been working in mental health treatment for nearly 20 years. I offer early morning appointments for Illinois residents. If you work atypical hours, or just prefer mornings, my schedule will be perfect for you (1am-12:00pm, depending on the day). Lots of my clients like to get in a session before their work day begins, to start the morning off right!

Hello! I am a Master's Level Clinical Therapist with over 4 years of experience counseling. I have a wide variety of clinical experiences from a clinic for teenagers with dangerous behaviors, to private practice in a wealthy suburb. My training and research has focused on trauma, complex family dynamics, anxiety, and neurodivergence (ADHD and autism).

Humility, honesty and humor are what I value most in my relationships with my clients to create lasting change. I work with people from a variety of backgrounds and genders, but I specialize in helping women heal from relationship and attachment trauma so they can overcome anxiety, navigate changes in their relationships and careers, reconnect with their sense of self, and create healthier, more fulfilling connections.
My other specialty is working with those in the helping professions to support them in advocacy and in overcoming compassion fatigue and burnout.
I got my MSW (Master of Social Work) at Aurora University to become a therapist in 2012. I got my start in community mental health, working in post-adoption and focusing on trauma and attachment work with families. I transitioned to private practice in September 2021.

Many of the adults I work with are navigating anxiety, burnout, overwhelm, or the feeling that they've spent years adapting and still don't feel like themselves. I specialize in ADHD and neurodivergence, and it’s work I care about deeply.
I believe real change happens when insight is paired with action.

- I am a clinical psychologist having worked in hospitals, private practices, teaching in universities including the University of Chicago School of Medicine. I also consulted with rehabilitation centers and nursing homes here in Illinois. My work included a wide range of ages but I specialize with seniors and how their lives changed over the years. Yes, you guessed it. I am a senior too so I know what it is all about.

Life can be overwhelming, and sometimes we need a place where we can be completely honest without feeling judged. I'm an LCSW who takes a relaxed, collaborative, and practical approach to therapy. I especially enjoy working with women navigating anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationships, self-esteem, and the many pressures that can come with being a woman today.
As a half-Japanese woman, I also understand that identity can be complicated. Culture, family expectations, race, relationships, and the different parts of who we are can sometimes be difficult to reconcile. I welcome conversations about cultural and racial identity, belonging, family dynamics, and the experience of navigating multiple cultures.
I have a particular interest in working with women, women Veterans, women experiencing infertility or fertility-related stress, and Asian Americans navigating identity, culture, family expectations, or belonging. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, recognize your strengths, and find realistic ways to move forward.

Making that first call for therapy can feel overwhelming. If you’re here, you’re likely carrying something heavy, and you’re looking for someone who can sit in that space with you without judgment or pressure. I understand that, and I honor the courage it takes to reach out.
As a therapist, I believe healing happens within a relationship built on shared humanity—not a hierarchy. One of my favorite reminders comes from Brené Brown: “Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.” I am not the healer and you are not the wounded. We are equals doing hard, meaningful work together.
