About me
** 4/8/24: I've been out sick. Be back soon! **
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm hoping to be a soft place to rest in the middle of a sometimes harsh existence.
Whether you want just a good laid-back cuddle, or a highly tailored, trauma-informed therapeutic cuddle, or something in between - I've got you covered.
What you'll get from me:
+High level of attentiveness
+Warmth and sensitivity
+Acceptance and appreciation of your authentic self
+A pretty well-rounded sense of humor:)
+Emotional intelligence
+Empathy and compassion, of course!
Sessions are ideally tailored to your unique needs, within the platonic boundaries. I want to get to know and understand you, so that the experience is most fulfilling to you.
We can talk our way down rabbit holes, or we can just enjoy a meditative silence, and everything in between. Everything is shared in confidence, as you would expect from a talk therapy session.
+Ask about incorporating sound healing via Tibetan Singing Bowl

+Low risk: I don't take payment unless you are happy with your session.
+Feeling unsure? Request a complementary brief video call to talk more and help you decide whether or not we're a good fit.

My background:
My formal education is in Clinical Psychology (undergraduate degree) and Clinical Mental Health Counseling (graduate degree). I've worked primarily as a caregiver for kids and adults with developmental disabilities and mental health challenges.
I’ve also had an abundance of “life training” through intentionally learning and growing from all of my relationships (with friends, family, partners, colleagues), and by working through my own health challenges. I have developed and continue to grow a pretty strong skillset in interpersonal relationships, somatic healing, nutrition, mental health work, etc.

**I may be slow to respond, as I have a few chronic health conditions that affect my availability. The quality of our sessions won't be significantly impacted; there are a few small accommodations I might ask for. I am happy to talk about this in more detail. The good news: My health issues have significantly contributed to my levels of compassion and sensitivity, so there is a benefit to you:)

+I do not host in Chicago anymore, but I still travel to Illinois for sessions! More information upon request.
