ABOUT ME

Hi there! As founder, visionary, and licensed clinical psychologist, I wear a lot of hats at Balanced Awakening : ). I am physically located in Chicago (mostly) where I focus my time on supporting the growth and evolution of Balanced Awakening PC (the IL based Balanced Awakening). I’m currently the on site supervisor for our doctoral students and postdocs, empowering them to do their best therapy with their Chicago based clients. The work that I do directly with clients takes place virtually with clients who live in FL. See below for more info on that!

WORK WITH CLIENTS

Are you ready to take your healing to the next level? I specialize in working with creative, intuitive women who are looking for an integrative psychotherapist who can pull from all facets of life to empower them even further on their healing journey. We will identify and celebrate moments of joy along the way. I work best with women who would like to incorporate spirituality, body based healing, and any/all facets of life into psychotherapy. I can zoom out to see the big picture of how things in your life affect each other, as well as zoom in to help you identify small adjustments you could make to feel better.

As the owner of Balanced Awakening, I specialize in providing psychotherapy to fellow entrepreneurs, creatives, visionaries, and healers.

I take a compassionate and direct stance as a woman therapist accompanying clients on their healing journeys. I specialize in integrative mindfulness and acceptance based psychotherapies that are guided by clients’ values. These include utilizing evidence based psychotherapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP). My work has recently been informed by my training in Imago Relationship Therapy which has supercharged my work with both individuals and couples.

EXPERIENCE

Prior to starting Balanced Awakening in 2015, I worked with diverse populations and individuals to feel less restricted by depression, anxiety, trauma, and psychosis. I have specialized training in helping people prepare for and make health behavior changes such as quitting smoking and managing their weight. I am trained in and have worked extensively from evidence based psychotherapies including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP). I completed my Postdoctoral Fellowship focused on Tobacco Cessation at Edith Nourse Rogers Memorial Hospital in Bedford, MA. Prior to that, I trained as a Psychology Intern at Friends Hospital in Philadelphia, PA. Additionally, I have worked with clients in private practice, residential, community, and school-based settings in the Chicagoland area.
