My Approach to Helping

I view therapy as, first and foremost, a relationship between partners trying to achieve a shared goal or vision. In this space, we can be free to explore and interpret history and events in the way that is most meaningful to you. Through this narrative, strengths-based work, it is my hope that you will be able to understand and even reframe past traumas, as well as social injustices and co-occurring identities.

More Info About My Practice

IntraSpectrum Counseling is Chicago’s leading psychotherapy practice dedicated to supporting the LGBTQ+ community. We have expertise in many areas of focus, including specialized training and experience in working with LGBTQ+ clients. We provide affirming sex-positive and kink-friendly individual, relationship, family, child & adolescent, and group therapy for clients across the spectrum of gender and sexual identities.

Importance of the Client-Therapist Alliance

I will check in with you during each session to find out what is working and what isnt. I know how overwhelming it can be to have to be *the expert*, so I try to relieve some of that burden by letting you know there are no wrong answers or responses to the work.
