Hi! I'm Maggie. 

I understand the search for a therapist can sometimes feel like an overwhelming task.  We want to make sure we've selected someone we can trust -  someone who gets it.  I admire your courage in taking that first step today by learning more about my clinical approach, experience, and those ways in which we can work together.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, board Certified Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Counselor, and Certified in EMDR Therapy.  I have additional training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, a holistic therapeutic approach used to help build somatic awareness to understand and process past trauma held in the body.

 

Prior to starting my own private practice in Chicago, I gained extensive and diverse experience providing counseling services in schools, community mental health agencies, hospitals, and group private practice. Throughout my career, I have developed a specialized interest and focus in the treatment of PTSD and complex trauma, perfectionism, addiction and anxiety.  I understand not all issues present the same, therefore I strive to personalize treatment to fit each individual's needs while maintaining an open, nonjudgmental, compassionate, and safe therapeutic space. 

You are imperfect, you are wired for struggle, and you are worthy of love and belonging.
