Sometimes, when it feels like everything is falling apart, things are actually falling into place. As a licensed clinician with over 11 years of experience—and more than 18 years in the mental health field—I am dedicated to walking alongside my clients through life’s most challenging moments. My approach is client-centered and collaborative, grounded in non-judgmental positive regard. I believe in creating a safe, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.
Therapy with me isn’t about passive listening or clichéd questions like, "How does that make you feel?" Instead, I engage actively, asking the tough questions that help you uncover the root of your challenges. Together, we’ll dig deep to process past experiences, develop effective coping skills, and build an emotional toolkit that empowers you to move forward with confidence.
I integrate a range of therapeutic approaches, tailoring each session to your unique needs. Whether it’s Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge negative thinking patterns, solution-focused techniques to inspire actionable change, or mindfulness practices to ground you in the present, my goal is to provide practical strategies that resonate with you. I am fully trained in CBT, DBT, mindfulness practices as well as EMDR.
I hold a master’s degree from Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science in Chicago, IL. My extensive experience in both clinical and community settings has shaped my ability to connect authentically and help clients make meaningful progress.
When I’m not in session, you’ll likely find me curled up with a mystery or psychological thriller, experimenting with new dessert recipes, or enjoying time with my family. I believe that a balanced life—filled with moments of joy and connection—is the foundation for mental well-being, and I strive to bring that philosophy into my practice.
If you’re ready to move past old patterns and build a stronger, more resilient self, I’m here to help. Reach out today to schedule a consultation—I look forward to supporting you on your journey to healing and growth.
