Welcome to my private practice

I received my Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from The Family Institute at Northwestern University. After my graduate training, I was selected to complete a year of General Clinical Fellowship at The Family Institute at Northwestern University. I then served as a staff member of The Family Institute’s Bette D. Harris Family and Child Clinic at Northwestern University.

After my time at Northwestern University, I opened the doors to my private practice in the heart of Lakeview (Chicago). I completed post-graduate training at The Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis and received certification in Adult Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy. This postgraduate training expanded my expertise and abilities in treating deeper issues of selfhood such as trauma and family-of-origin issues.

Experiencing personal struggles with infertility and family building, I developed a special interest in working with perinatal mood disorders and infertility challenges. I completed an intensive certificate training in perinatal mood and anxiety disorders at Postpartum Support International.

The most recent chapter of my career lead me to pursue The Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program. Under the tutelage of the great meditation teachers Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield, I completed extensive training and teaching practicums in the realm of mindfulness meditation. This certification culminated in the integration of traditional therapy with mindfulness meditation to create The Mindful Relating approach.
