Imagine a space where your story matters and you are understood from the start. Here, you are not only safe, but welcomed. In this space you are invited to courageously explore who you are and unapologetically identify what you need. Wildwood offers this space, where together we will unravel the tangle of thoughts and feelings to find your way forward. I am a licensed clinical professional counselor and sexuality coach and educator. I am also the founder and primary therapist of Wildwood Counseling and Coaching.

I am passionate about helping folks who don’t quite feel fully at home in their bodies learn how to connect and re-engage with their sexuality and most authentic expression of self. The majority of my practice focuses on finding alignment and pleasure in expressing gender and sexual identity as well as healing after sexual, reproductive, or relationship trauma. My approach is rooted in a person-centered philosophy while taking an integrative approach tailored to each client’s specific contexts and needs.

Prior to forming Wildwood, I worked at Concentric Counseling and Consulting and Chicago Counseling Associates; providing therapy services for individuals from adolescence through adulthood and folks in relationships. I also served youth survivors of sexual violence and their families as a rape crisis counselor and medical advocate. My career journey started in the performing arts; working as a stage and production manager for theatre, circus, dance, and opera; based in Chicago, and touring across the US. It was while teaching stage management in higher education that my passion for working in the helping and healing professions became crystalized and my professional identity evolved.
