The three of us met working at IYC-Chicago working with incarcerated teen boys. We are all very passionate about forensic work but have found it difficult to keep ourselves involved since transitioning to private practice, and thought the benign part of this directory would be a great outlet to continue to make an impact with the forensic population.

I believe everyone holds the capacity to heal every part of their life. Using a comforting, trust-based approach grounded in genuineness, I help you leave shame and guilt at the door and reimagine life's difficulties. I have interests in men's mental health, life transitions, and couples work, driven by a desire to end the stigma around men showing emotion.

Troubled by the disconnect between mental health services and social change, I founded A New Day: a group of therapists who understand how societal ills like racism, sexism, and economic injustice shape mental wellbeing. Using a trauma-informed, holistic approach drawn from Family Systems Theory, I accompany individuals, couples, and families along the journey to wholeness.

I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults navigating complex challenges, including the effects of incarceration and major transitions like starting a family, college, or divorce. I specialize in supporting parents and families of children with behavioral issues, and the loved ones of those facing addiction or incarceration. My approach is evidence-based, solution-focused, direct, and caring—with a little humor.

With a master's in forensic psychology and experience across post-conviction and court-ordered work, I've seen how our justice system falls short of rehabilitation. Those coming home deserve immense support as they process their experience and re-enter a society they may no longer recognize. I work primarily with trauma and CPTSD, and specialize in ADHD and substance use.
