📋 LCSW, MSW 📍Chicago, Willow Springs, and Joliet, IL 💬 English 🌐 Hybrid

I provide full-spectrum and client-specific treatment to children, adolescents, and adults in a warm, genuine, and safe environment. Because I believe in the importance of a consistent therapeutic relationship, I accommodate clients by providing sliding scale fees, in-home visits, on-line sessions and office visits. I am trained in Pranic, Reiki healing, and vibrational sound massage. Other non-talk therapy services are also provided, such as tea therapy, pet therapy, walk n talk, food therapy, etc. I am LGBT, non-monogamous relationship, and kink-friendly.
