About Nora

Hi there. I’m glad you’re here!

I’m Nora. I’m a Chicagoan in my late 30s, a mom to one dog and one boy, a writer and a reader with a mild Elena Ferrante obsession, and most importantly, a trauma and attachment-focused therapist and practice owner.  

I learned all about trauma and recovery during my early training as a therapist, but I learned even more from experiencing pregnancy losses, braving new pregnancies, and ultimately becoming a mother. 

It takes hard work to rededicate yourself to creativity, freedom, joy, and your life’s meaning after physically and emotionally painful experiences and/or amidst the intensity of early parenthood. Establishing my therapy practice was an important part of this journey for me!

In my therapeutic work, I help others develop the inner resources they need to grow in the wake of loss and trauma, to nurture themselves and their children, and to attach to others in a healthy and fulfilling way.  

I am a licensed clinical social worker with eight years of post-graduate experience in a variety of settings with parents of children under five, pregnant people, couples, PhD and MBA students, and other adults in their 20s and 30s. I am Perinatal Mental Health Certified and use an integrative, trauma-informed and attachment-based approach; I am a climate aware, LGBTQ+ affirming, and abortion-affirming provider.
