I am a licensed clinical social worker. I graduated with a degree in psychology from DePaul University in 2013, and earned my MSW from the University of Illinois in 2015. My decision to become a therapist was rooted in my desire to create a safe space for Black and Brown clients wanting to share their therapeutic experience with someone who looked liked them. I am a Chicago native where I currently reside with my husband and our children. I enjoy traveling, cooking, eating, and reading

As a clinician, my goal is to assist clients in exploring and defining their truest self to allow for self-acceptance. By working from a strengths- based perspective, I collaborate with my clients to equip them with individualized skills, so that they are able to achieve their personal goals.

I believe that we are the experts in our lives. My role is not to 'fix' my clients, but to foster a partnership that addresses their challenges and highlights their strengths in a safe space.

My hope is that clients leave their sessions feeling validated, feeling seen, empowered and hopeful about their abilities to achieve their goals.
