*All mental health counseling services are virtual via secure telehealth link. I am based in Chicago, IL and you must be located in Illinois for all therapy sessions.
Free 15-Minute Consultation
I provide a free 15-minute consultation via phone call prior to our first session. This initial consultation is an opportunity for you to provide a brief overview of your situation, to ask questions about me and my practice, and to review logistics such as payment/insurance and scheduling. After this initial meeting, if we mutually decide to move forward, we will schedule the initial intake session (see below). To schedule, send an email or text, or schedule directly on my calendar, and I will follow-up within 24 business hours.
Individual Therapy
I provide short- and long-term individual therapy to adults ages 18 and over. My clients include people with symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, and autistic or otherwise neurodivergent adults.
Intake and Initial Assessment
During this 60-minute session, I will ask questions about topics such as your history, mental health symptoms, prior experience in therapy, values, support systems, and goals for treatment. If your intake is prior to ketamine preparation or integration sessions (see below), we will also review current and prior psychedelic use. This information will provide the foundation for our work together.
Ongoing Sessions
After the initial assessment, individual mental health therapy sessions are typically 50-55 minutes long. Each session will look different depending on your presenting issues and your goals.
Gender-Affirming Care (GAC) Letters
I provide letters of support for clients seeking hormone-replacement therapy (HRT) or other gender-affirming medical care. Prior to the assessment session, you will be asked to complete paperwork with information about your goals, background, and other relevant information. During the session, I will collaborate with you to write a letter based on WPATH standards. The letter will be sent to you within 24 hours of the appointment ending.
I am also available for additional support around gender affirming care.
Ketamine-Assisted Therapy
I provide preparation and integration sessions to people receiving ketamine treatments through outside providers for treatment of depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
Preparation sessions are designed to help you understand what to expect during your ketamine therapy and to set realistic intentions. Thorough preparation can ensure your treatment has the greatest benefit and lessen symptom remission. The number of preparation sessions will depend upon your history, symptoms, and goals.
Integration sessions are typically scheduled in between ketamine sessions to help process insights and new perspectives generated during ketamine therapy. Ketamine increases your brain’s ability to create new pathways and habits, a phenomenon known as neuroplasticity. Studies suggest that therapy following a ketamine session increases the likelihood of creating sustainable changes during this period of growth.
Consultation Services
I offer clinical supervision for providers with conditional licenses, as well as guidance for therapists considering including ketamine therapy in their practice.
