About

I graduated from college with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a minor in Comparative Religion, a dream of bringing my gifts to the world and a foggy picture of what that might look like. In the first seven years of my career, I worked as a community advocate, case manager and counselor in under-resourced communities in the Chicago area.

These foundational years of my career began to wake up something inside me about creating opportunities for lasting individual and systemic change. The experiences also changed my perspective on what transformation looks like and reinforced my belief in the natural human condition to move toward healing, growth and freedom.

During this season, I started waking up to the wisdom of the body in the healing process and completed a three year certificate program in Somatic Experiencing to grow in awareness of my own nervous system’s responses and eventually support client’s in using the wisdom of their bodies to heal and grow. After working in group private practices for 8 years, I decided to take the advice I often give my clients to create my dream job by opening my own practice in the historic Monadnock building in downtown Chicago.
