Psychotherapy
Offering psychoanalytic psychotherapy in Chicago, IL and via telehealth.
-
I am a psychotherapist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Chicago, Illinois. I provide individual and couples therapy specializing in the particular needs of the queer community. Psychotherapy offers the opportunity to gain a deeper knowledge and acceptance of oneself as well as insight into how one's fears, unacknowledged desires, and conflicts from the past can influence current behavior. I believe that a successful psychotherapy is directly dependent upon a solid relationship between therapist and patient.
In our initial sessions I will ask what sort of issues bring you in and explore ways you've tried to deal with these issues in the past. Once I have an understanding of what brings you in and how I can help, we will discuss a plan for treatment.

I am currently a candidate in the psychoanalytic training program at the Chicago Center for Psychoanalysis. For more information on psychoanalytic treatment, here is a resource from the International Psychoanalytic Association.

I have a special interest and training in the use of psychedelics in the therapy process. I partner with Synergy Integrative Health to provide Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP).
