Compassionate care, anywhere in Illinois

I am a queer-, trans-, and neurodivergent-affirming therapist licensed to treat clients across Illinois, including Chicago, Evanston, Oak Park, Naperville, Aurora, and wherever you call home.

All of my therapy sessions are virtual and use a HIPAA compliant platform. Most days, I’ll be wearing comfy clothes, with a weighted lap pad, and herbal tea (at the moment I'm enjoying Yogi’s peppermint mixed with Egyptian licorice.) I show up in what makes me feel most grounded and encourage you to do the same!

Honoring your sensitivity

A lot of the folks I work with would describe themselves as sensitive souls.

Sensitive to how others perceive them

Sensitive to sounds, smells, textures, or bright lights

Sensitive to rejection - real or imagined

In our work together, we’ll listen to your sensitivity rather than try to change it. Sensitivity isn’t a problem to solve, but a part of you that deserves gentleness and care. Your nervous system might be asking for softness, safety, or slowness in a world that often moves too fast.

We might focus on…

• Creating sensory-friendly environments - think soft lighting, noise-canceling tools, comforting textures

• Building in transition time between activities to help your nervous system recalibrate

• Finding ways to communicate, even when it’s hard to find the words

• Challenging the belief that you have to earn rest, love, or belonging

You’re not too much or broken for feeling so deeply. You just need space to be fully, tenderly yourself.
