Psychotherapist who has worked directly with people experiencing mental/emotional challenges in Chicagoland over the past decade. Has held roles in both public agencies and private practices throughout Chicago. Has worked in the correctional system, substance use, housing insecurity and in residential support services. My hope is that people can begin to see how accessing these fundamentally healing and restorative services can and will change individuals, families and communities outcomes in an enormously positive way. Access for these services is a human right and something everyone should be provided, regardless of insurance or financial position.
