Introduction

You don’t have to know where to start - just show up as you are, and we’ll forge the path together. I work with adults navigating life’s deeper currents: illness, identity shifts, grief, caregiving stress, facing mortality, or the quiet ache of disconnection. Many of my clients are navigating a challenging cancer trajectory, whether newly adjusting to diagnosis, living with advanced cancer, facing end-of-life concerns, or managing the complexities of survivorship. With over 15 years of experience in mental health and medical settings including Memorial Sloan Kettering (NYC) and Northwestern’s Lurie Cancer Center (Chicago), I bring clinical depth, warmth, and attuned presence to this work. I have direct therapy experience with individuals and couples impacted by prostate, renal, gynecological, gastrointestinal, and blood cancers, as well as various chronic illnesses. I offer telehealth psychotherapy for clients in Illinois and Wisconsin and practice exclusively in a private-pay model to honor the privacy, pacing, and integrity of the therapeutic relationship. I welcome clients with diverse backgrounds, identities, and concerns. If you're curious about working together or learning more, please don't hesitate to reach out for a brief consultation. I’d love to connect. *Accepting IL clients beginning July 21, 2025*
