We're Nurturing Relationships

I'm an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Northwestern University and a Bachelor’s in Philosophy and Psychology from Loyola University Chicago. Originally from Tennessee, I came to therapy through a deep interest in justice, systems of care, and the health of families. My early work in community organizing, crisis support for survivors of sexual assault, and academic studies in social philosophy shaped my belief that healing is necessarily relational and systemic. I completed a postgraduate clinical fellowship at The Family Institute, where I deepened my focus on the relational health of individuals, children, and families across a wide range of concerns. My time in the fellowship solidified my belief that movement, play, and community are vital facets of healing, and that self-exploration can be done through the mutual reflection process of a therapeutic relationship.

I practice through an integrative systemic lens, drawing from Emotionally Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Narrative Therapy, and Structural Family Therapy. I believe therapy is about connection—to others, to our bodies, to our stories, and to the world around us. I aim to create a therapeutic space that is warm, curious, direct, and grounded in compassion. In my work, I often use metaphor and creativity to help clients explore and express their inner worlds. I also bring personal insight to my practice from living with autoimmune and chronic health conditions, and I value working with clients navigating experiences around their health.
