“Nothing human can be alien to me.” -Terence. Within the bounds of a safe relationship, I hope you can let the ugly, shameful and confusing parts of you breathe. Together, we can encounter them with compassion, as this is often where the work lies. I endeavor to create a warm holding environment for you as we explore issues more deeply and understand their origins through psychoanalytic, relational and existential perspectives. I share my conceptualizations with clients and provide psychoeducation to deepen insight into our unconscious experiences, while honoring individual uniqueness, cultural nuances, and other complexities. I enjoy working with BIPOC individuals, first- and second- generation immigrants, LGBTQIA+ identifying individuals, men’s issues, and those with religious or spiritual backgrounds. My clients are usually looking for therapies of depth and insight. I was trained at Northwestern University and the Chicago Center for Psychoanalysis in my four years of experience working with clients from a range of backgrounds and presenting issues. I feel honored to do this work and I look forward to working with you.
