Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially when you feel like you have been carrying the weight of the world for a long time. You may feel stuck in patterns you do not fully understand, caught in reactions that feel hard to manage, or isolated in experiences that others may not fully see. My goal is to create a space that feels warm and comfortable; an emotional haven where you can slow down and share the weight while you begin making sense of how your past experiences may be impacting your present life.
​
I work with adults who have experienced a wide range of difficult and painful life experiences. This may include what many people think of as “Big T” trauma that upends your world, as well as “little t” traumas that quietly shape self-worth, sense of self and the way you move through the world over time. I am especially passionate about helping clients explore how earlier experiences have shaped them and find a lasting resolution that truly feels empowering and opens new possibilities.
​
My approach to therapy is deeply rooted in trauma-informed care. The healing process often begins by connecting the dots between what you have experienced, how you learned to cope with life’s difficulties, and what you need now in order to feel more connected to yourself and your life. I regularly integrate EMDR therapy, Ego State interventions, somatic exploration, and attachment-based therapy into my work. We will focus on building insight, calming your nervous system, and integrating the “stuck” parts to help you move toward meaningful growth while honoring your resilience. We will find humor where we can and hold space together when the work is more difficult. I would be honored to walk alongside as you begin this journey of rediscovery.
​
In addition to my work as a therapist, I serve as a facilitator with the EMDR Institute, where I support therapists through EMDR training, mentorship, and consultation. I am also the co-founder of an international EMDR networking and informational group, which reflects my ongoing commitment to thoughtful, ethical, and effective trauma therapy.
​
Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy spending time outdoors hiking or soaking in the sun, playing games with my family, working out, and cuddling with my Boston Terriers.

Hi, I’m Abby, a licensed clinical social worker who works with adults seeking a deeper understanding of themselves, not because they’re broken but because they’ve spent too long carrying what life has asked of them. I’m passionate about helping people reconnect with themselves through relational safety, nervous system awareness, and embodied practices. I especially enjoy working with adults navigating complex trauma, anxiety, relationship and attachment wounds, life transitions, and grief and identity-based exploration. I believe healing happens within safe, attuned relationships, and I strive to create a therapeutic space where you will feel seen, respected, and genuinely understood.
​
I draw inspiration from attachment theory, Buddhist psychology, Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, mindfulness, and embodiment-based / somatic practices, but more than any particular model, my work is guided by compassion and curiosity. I believe our emotions, nervous systems, and protective patterns all have something meaningful to tell us. Together, we’ll slow down enough to listen. Instead of trying to eliminate protective parts, we’ll work toward understanding them and creating space for greater self-trust, emotional flexibility, and a deeper sense of connection to your authentic self. My hope is that our work together can be an invitation for you to come home to yourself.
​
I believe it’s important to be transparent about the values that shape my work so you can choose a therapist whose approach aligns with your needs and beliefs. I believe therapy is most effective when it is grounded in safety, dignity, and mutual respect. My work is informed by core social work values, including social justice, integrity, the importance of human relationships, and a deep respect for the inherent worth of every person. I am committed to providing care that is identity-affirming, inclusive, and rooted in cultural humility.
Wherever you are in your journey, I hope therapy can become a place where you feel safe enough to reconnect with yourself. If that feels like what you’re looking for, I’d be honored to explore that work with you.

​
I strive to provide therapy that is tailored to each client's unique and individualized experience. As a therapist, I honor these lived experiences and assist my clients in exploring and understanding how this shapes who they are and how they navigate through the world. I believe that each aspect of an individual's identity is important and plays a crucial role in healing and growth (all parts deserve space, as you may hear me say!). I deeply value creating a trusting and collaborative therapeutic relationship with my clients to assist in healing and self-growth. Together, we can work to build strategies for overcoming challenges, facilitating change, and improving self-confidence.
I have a Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Adler University. I have a background in social justice and am passionate in providing trauma-informed care. As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), I have clinical experience working with individuals with complex trauma histories, relationship issues, difficult life transitions, abuse, depression, anxiety, and PTSD/CPTSD. As a Certified Grief Informed Professional (CGP), I have clinical experience in helping my clients to process and work through the difficult emotions and experiences that can arise during the grieving process. I understand that grief can be life long and can sometimes feel overwhelming, isolating, and distressing. I am inspired to provide the crucial support, validation/normalization, and evidenced-based coping strategies to assist in helping my clients through these difficult times.
My work is rooted in person-centered, trauma-informed, and mindfulness perspectives. I often incorporate strength based, emotion-focused, ego state, and solution-focused frameworks into my work as well. I am also trained in EMDR and have experience in helping clients to process and resolve presenting concerns stemming from past trauma. I lean towards an approach that is holistic, relational, and supportive overall depending on each client's needs.
Outside of work, you can often find me listening to music and attending concerts, spending time with my dog Scooby, thinking about my next tattoo, and drinking way too much coffee. Fun fact, I am an experienced barista!

Throughout life, we sometimes find ourselves stuck and frustrated with persistent challenges. My goal in therapy is to help support and guide you through these challenges to become more self-aware, gain insight into patterns and initiate growth and learning. I view therapy as a collaborative process in which we work together to develop a safe therapeutic relationship through which we can create positive change (or shifts, as you’ll learn I like to call them). I most enjoy helping clients work through relational challenges and the impact relationships have in our lives.
I lean into providing an empathic environment that is tailored to you through an eclectic approach. My most frequently used therapeutic approaches include Person-Centered, Strengths-Based, CBT, DBT, Solutions-Focused and Family Systems. My hope is to help you
discover the most effective coping strategies to fit your individual needs. I believe in the importance of trauma-informed therapy and am confident in my ability to help you process, navigate and heal from past experiences. I aim to provide you with a validating and
compassionate space for you to feel seen and heard.
I have a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from National Louis University. As a former educator of eight years, I also continue to actively hold my educator’s license. I have previously taught English Language Arts at the middle and high school levels. I have experience and find enjoyment in guiding parents and teachers in relation to mental health and can relate to those enduring such challenges relating to the education world.
When I am not busy disturbing my cat’s peace, I enjoy reading mystery and thriller novels and accepting my dog’s kind offers to take me on walks. I also enjoy exercising, baking, decorating
for holidays and spending time with family, including my nephew and many nieces.

Hi, I’m Tracy, a licensed therapist passionate about helping people reconnect with who they are beneath the roles, expectations, and wounds they’ve carried. I work with teens and adults navigating complex trauma, addiction recovery, relationship challenges, and identity exploration.
​
Whether you’re brand new to therapy or years into sobriety, I offer a grounded, compassionate space to deepen your connection with your inner world. Together, we explore the parts of you shaped by pain, neglect, or survival with the goal of bringing understanding and healing to those experiences.
​
I hold deep respect for the complexity and resilience in each person’s story. I particularly enjoy working with clients who are ready to explore their emotional landscapes, connect past experiences to present patterns, and move toward a more intentional, embodied way of being. Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you but rather about reconnecting with the parts of yourself that deserve attention, compassion, and care.
​
My approach is warm, grounded and collaborative. I draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS), inner child and reparenting work, psychodynamic theory, mindfulness, feminist and narrative therapy, and attachment-based practices. Above all, I believe healing happens in the context of a genuine therapeutic relationship — one where you feel seen, supported, and gently challenged.
​
I hold a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Adler University and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Spanish from Loyola University Chicago. With over a decade of experience supporting individuals post-incarceration, I’m deeply committed to offering therapy that affirms dignity, complexity, and humanity. I believe we are more than what we’ve done — or what’s been done to us.
​
I bring a culturally responsive, identity-affirming lens to my work. As a bilingual (English/Spanish), queer-identifying, neurodivergent (ADHD) woman, I’m attuned to the layered experiences of clients navigating marginalization, intersectional identity, and internalized shame. If you’re looking for a therapist who will meet you with curiosity, honesty, and respect — someone to walk alongside you as you untangle old stories and reclaim your voice — I’d be honored to connect.
​
When I’m not in session, you can find me hiking, talking to my plants, flowing through a hot yoga class, or planning my next travel adventure. I’m also a proud cat mom to two very opinionated feline companions.

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
EMDR Training In Progress
As a therapist working with adolescents and adults, I’m dedicated to providing a supportive, respectful, and accepting space for all. My approach integrates acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), psychodynamic, and Adlerian perspectives. This means I focus on helping people build insight into patterns from their past, connect more deeply with their values, and learn practical ways to navigate difficult emotions. I also incorporate dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) skills to enhance communication and emotional regulation.
My goal is to create a calm, comfortable space where others can feel at ease. My style blends empathy, authenticity, and psychoeducation. I take an intuitive and flexible approach, shaping each session around what you need at that moment. I have experience working with individuals navigating addiction, trauma, and anxiety.
I completed my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Northwestern University and am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I am committed to lifelong learning and growth, as both an individual and a clinician.
My favorite weekend activities include taking my dog on walks and spending time with loved ones. I also enjoy running, yoga, puzzles, and exploring local restaurants.

I believe healing begins in a space where people feel safe, seen, and supported. As a therapist, my goal is to create that space with warmth, curiosity, and genuine connection. Coming from a culturally diverse background, I understand that no two people are alike, which is why I create a plan that is unique and specific to each client. I value the story each person brings and work collaboratively to identify patterns, explore emotions, and move toward meaningful growth and change.
My experience includes facilitating Domestic Violence groups focused on building healthy relationships and communication, as well as developing strong skills for crisis management and safety planning. I am committed to creating a grounded, supportive space for individuals during times of acute stress while working with a diverse range of clients presenting concerns.
I believe no one approach fits all, so I tailor our work based on your unique goals, strengths, and needs. My therapeutic approach is integrated and client-centered, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-informed care. I earned my Master’s in Counseling Psychology, which has allowed me to understand clients from a perspective that goes beyond diagnosis—honoring the emotional, cognitive, and relational layers of each person’s experience.
I enjoy working with young adults through older adults navigating a range of challenges, including mood disorders, life transitions, trauma, and anxiety. I’m drawn to supporting individuals in times of adjustment—whether that’s stepping into adulthood, navigating relationships, processing past or present trauma, or working through long-standing patterns that no longer serve them.
​
Outside the therapy room, you’ll likely find me outdoors, lost in a good book, searching for the next restaurant to try, or spending time with friends and family. I bring that same energy of curiosity, connection, and presence into my work with clients.

I believe in the strength and resilience each of us possess as human beings. Life can be easy when everything goes exactly as we plan… but it rarely if ever does. The ability to identify and lean on our unique inherent strengths and successfully navigate life’s myriad challenges is essential to achieving and maintaining optimal mental health. By emphasizing individual, environmental, and community strengths, I work with clients to help them overcome their challenges and accompany them on their journey to success and happiness.
Traumatic experiences of all shapes and sizes have a lasting impact on the way we perceive and interact with the world and can manifest in ways that prevent us from living our best lives. Helping clients process through and reshape their relationship with whatever traumas they might have faced is what I aim to do. Much of my experience has been working with youth and adolescents, though often the most impactful processes have involved work with parents/caretakers to positively impact the entire system affecting the individual. Coming from a social work background, I always look at all factors that conspire to shape the world around my clients.
In my free time I try to get out in nature as much as possible, especially with my dog. If there is a body of water nearby, you will likely find both me and my dog in it! I’m also a firm believer in the power of community both for myself and my clients, so devoting time to build and strengthen bonds with friends and family is a major part of my personal practice.

Asking for help can be an incredibly hard thing to do. As a therapist, it’s my goal to offer clients a space where they can pursue that help at their own comfortable pace. The adolescents and young adults that enter my office are assured a safe space with someone dedicated to listening and understanding them. Whatever your needs may be, we will take our time and find the best way to support you as a unique individual.
Ever since I graduated from Loyola University with my master’s degree in community counseling, finding ways to best support the mental health of the community around me has been my goal. Among the approaches I take, person-centered, CBT and narrative techniques are areas I especially utilize because of the emphasis of self-reflection as a means of administering change. Alongside whatever treatment modalities are best suited for a client, you can bet there will be some healthy doses of psychoeducation sprinkled in. I find that being able to understand how our brain functions around things like anxiety and trauma can help enhance the efficacy of the work we do together.
One key area that has influenced the age range I prefer working with is supporting clients through various life transitions. Given the kinds of shared experiences common for adolescents and young adults, I strive to help them learn the best ways to cope and manage themselves now so they can be best prepared for even bigger life changes later.
Outside of my professional life, my time is spent with family and friends along with plenty of quiet evenings relaxing with my partner. I love to learn new skills and hobbies but always adore indulging in some fantasy fiction, board game nights with friends and getting back into a solid weightlifting routine (fun fact, I used to train very intensely as a competitive powerlifter).

I believe that true fulfillment is found through connection—with ourselves, with others, and with a deeper sense of purpose. I strive to create a supportive space where all parts are welcome and where experiences can be explored with openness and curiosity. My approach is compassionate, integrative, and rooted in the belief that every person has an innate capacity for growth and transformation.
My work integrates psychodynamic and somatic approaches, helping clients uncover the deeper emotional patterns, beliefs, and experiences that shape their lives while also reconnecting with the wisdom of their body. I also draw from attachment theory, narrative therapy, mindfulness-based practices, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills. This integrative approach allows me to tailor therapy to each client's unique needs while providing both insight and practical tools for navigating life's challenges.
I have experience supporting individuals and couples with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, sexual concerns, eating disorders, and life transitions. I am especially passionate about supporting those who are exploring spirituality, meaning, purpose, and their connection to something greater than themselves. Whether spirituality is central to your life or simply a source of curiosity, I welcome conversations about the deeper questions that shape who we are and how we find fulfillment.
I earned my Master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Benedictine University. Prior to becoming a therapist, I spent six years in the corporate world and understand the complexities of work pressures, identity, and life transitions. I am also a 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher and enjoy incorporating mindfulness and body-based awareness into my work to support integration.
Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy practicing yoga, playing guitar, reading a mix of fiction and non-fiction, cooking, and spending time with friends and family.
