I’m an Autistic/ADHD psychotherapist certified as a licensed clinical professional counselor (Illinois 180013091), certified clinical trauma professional (796959), and have completed the level two Internal Family Systems training from the IFS Institute. I am currently seeing clients virtually across Illinois.

I have practiced as a clinical therapist in inpatient, partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient eating disorder programs. In addition to my clinical work, I provided eating disorder consults throughout a hospital program to assist physicians in assessing, diagnosing and making recommendations for eating disorder treatment and follow up care.

I enjoy working with adults of all ages seeking support with eating disorders, body image, negative eating disorder treatment experiences, gender and sexuality exploration, unique stressors of graduate school, and challenging relationships with parents/caregivers.

Abolition is the primary value that guides both my own life and my practice. In sessions, this involves a deep understanding and compassion for all persons and their parts and a commitment to maintaining space free of pathologization and hierarchical relationships between therapist and client. For clients wanting to engage in a collaborative relationship to foster healing, find joy in their autonomy and practice more self compassion, this might be your nest.

Outside of sessions, I enjoy cooking & baking at home, eating out, reading, live music, jigsaw puzzles, spending times with my cats, Pickles & Pepper, and weight lifting.
