We’re humans, not therapy robots. We admit when we’ve had a "miss", misattuned to you, or wish we had done something differently. We believe in being willing and courageous to be transparent with you in sessions and be flexible in our approaches.

We’re curious about the experiences, beliefs, systems, and values that shape your life! Getting curious together looks like understanding how patterns and ways of being have served you, and where they may actually be getting in the way of the things you most want for yourself.

We bring our humanness into the therapy room and we want you to do the same! That new hobby you picked up, that tv show you can’t stop binging, the “bleh” feeling a Chicago winter often brings - we invite you to bring all parts of yourself to therapy.

Each and every step of the way you are an active collaborator in your own therapeutic process. We bring experience, knowledge, and tools, and you bring your expertise on your own life. We work creatively together to create real change in how you relate to yourself, others, and the world around you!

We thoughtfully use the therapeutic relationship and interventions to help you in your process. We take our years of training and our embodied knowledge of different therapeutic approaches to make informed choices in what we bring into your sessions.

We don't take ourselves or the therapy process too seriously. Yes, there is pain and suffering to process, witness, and honor, and we can also hold space for laughter and joy. We believe in accessing resilience, authenticity and connection through humor.
