Brave Talk Therapy is a Chicago-based practice that provides services to people of all ages. As a therapist at Brave Talk, I utilize CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Person-Centered Therapy. This means my style is supportive and reflective, offering both space and guidance as clients work through obstacles and build on their existing strengths.
In an individual or group session, I aim to bring a warm, curious, and deeply compassionate energy into the room. I believe that every person has their own unique story to tell, and I strive to honor that by providing personalized therapy to fit your specific needs. I draw mainly from family systems and psychodynamic therapy, which allows me to bring past or subconscious thoughts to the surface and gently guide you toward self-insight.
We started Smart Behavior Solutions with the goal of going against the grain. While most therapy practices use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a means to modify thought patterns to change moods & behaviors, we use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help patients recognize and accept the many aspects of life. ACT helps patients understand who they are and choose the associated beneficial behaviors. These behaviors are based on the most important people & things in life. Our therapists work with you to create change.

I can help you make the life changes and adjustments needed to improve your life satisfaction and achieve the goals you are setting for yourself. I am a nontraditional therapist. I don't just sit back and listen to you talk. I challenge your heart and soul to help you achieve your personal goals.

During my eight years on staff in college counseling centers, I fully enjoyed helping college and graduate students be their best selves. Sometimes that involved offering concrete information about something specific, such as ADHD, and sometimes that has involved helping a person feel better about themselves or get more satisfaction out of life and out of relationships. I enjoy working together with students who are interested in exploring the obstacles to getting what they want out of life.
