Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Chicago, IL

Hello! I am a Master's Level Clinical Therapist with over 4 years of experience counseling. I have a wide variety of clinical experiences from a clinic for teenagers with dangerous behaviors, to private practice in a wealthy suburb. My training and research has focused on trauma, complex family dynamics, anxiety, and neurodivergence (ADHD and autism).

I am a Chicano male raised in the Midwest. I have served my community as a counselor, professor, mentor, therapist, and advocate for students, especially first generation and men of color. I have a Masters in Social Work and an LCSW that has allowed me the opportunity to connect my ancestral practices in relating with the mystery and the emerging field of psychedelic assisted psychotherapy.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a Doctorate in Nursing Practice. I care deeply about creating a safe, supportive space where you feel comfortable being yourself. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, PTSD, and stress. I believe that every person’s story matters, and your care should reflect your unique needs and goals.

Hello and Welcome! To summarize myself, I have been practicing psychotherapy in the Chicago area since graduating from Adler University with my Doctorate in 2014. Since then I have grown into my profession and now run a small private practice, supervise my team's coursework and proudly continue to serve my community through therapy. I am outgoing by nature and will make you feel heard and supported from the start.

I listen intuitively — 100% judgment free, with unconditional support. In our work together you'll increase confidence and manage stress more effectively.

We'll uncover the root of what's troubling you, explore new perspectives, and shift into healthier thought patterns.

This is done by integrating evidence based and mind-body approaches, which tends to bring clients RELIEF and CLARITY.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in helping adults who live with trauma, anxiety, depression, and OCD. I draw from ACT, EMDR, embodiment practices, and parts work, and I am neurodivergent‐friendly and LGBTQIA+ affirming. I also have experience supporting clients through psychosis, grief, chronic health issues, spiritual trauma, eating disorders, and substance use disorders.

At the core of my work is a belief that every person has the capacity to choose who they become. As Jean‐Paul Sartre wrote, “We are constantly creating ourselves through action.” I see therapy as a space where you can explore that creation with support, clarity, and intention.
