As a sex and couple therapist, I believe that all problems are relational- one of you is not "the problem"- your patterns of relating to one another that have become twisted with hurt and resentment over time are the problem. My style of conducting therapy is validating, structured, goal-oriented, observational and direct, with an element of coaching through in-session interventions and homework to complete outside of our meetings.

I am skilled in working with more than one person in the room. My goal is to get you and your partner(s) to speak to each other differently in session, and bring that learning outside of our one hour a week and into your real life. I specialize in couples with sexual dysfunction, communication difficulties, trust issues, trauma history, anxiety, and socialized gender-based disagreements. I am LGBTQIA+, sex-worker, kink and polyamory affirming.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (in IL, WI and FL) trained at The Family Institute at Northwestern University, the founder of Grace Therapy and Wellness Center, and an AAMFT Approved Supervisor and Mentor. I am working on my PhD in Couple and Family Therapy at Adler University. I received my Sex Therapy Certificate in 2024 and am completing hours to be certified by AASECT.

I recognize that taking the step to reach out to a therapist is a great leap towards change,

and also one of the hardest things to do. I try to make this go as smoothly as possible by responding promptly, answering any questions you may have, and scheduling a session within two weeks of you reaching out.
