About me

Hi everyone, welcome to my profile. I am glad that you are engaged in this journey of self-help and interested in learning more about therapy. I recognize that, for many, therapy, is a big step in trying to improve their lives, and people can be nervous or unfamiliar with therapy, at first. Regardless of any stigmas attached to therapy, I firmly believe in the importance of therapy and that this process has helped many people. I strive to make the therapeutic environment a comfortable and non-judgmental place where clients feel they can fully express themselves. I am originally from New York- born and raised. I moved to Chicago in June of 2025 and I am living and experiencing a new city. I have worked with a variety of clients, including those of different ages and backgrounds. My areas of focus, include, but not limited to, 1) Grief and Loss 2) Family and personal relationships, including divorce, marriage, and romantic relationships 3) Emotional Regulation and anger management, 4) Anxiety and stress 5) Life Transitions.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During the first session, I will introduce myself and get to know you as well. We will begin to discuss goals of treatment and the different steps to achieve realistic goals in treatment. We will also discuss the expectations of therapy, specifically in the virtual format and what you, the client, would like to get out of the therapeutic experience.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I am very empathic, understanding and non-judgmental. I am a good listener and help client process their thoughts and feelings. I can also help clients come up with solutions, and goals to help them in their journey.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I have worked with clients that experience grief and loss, anxiety and stress, life transitions, relationship issues and emotional regulation. We will work towards goals and objectives to address these life circumstances. I primarily work with adults aged 21 and older and help clients come up with different goals and objectives that they can use their own life in their journey.
