I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes that therapy works best when you feel truly heard — not judged. I bring warmth, honesty, and a no-nonsense approach to our work together. My goal is for every client to leave each session feeling a little more understood and a little more equipped than when they walked in. I work with most major insurance plans, so getting quality care shouldn't have to break the bank.

Welcome! I am a licensed therapist in California and Illinois with over 13 years experience providing therapy to youth, adults and families across a variety of settings. Throughout my career I've had the privilege of supporting individuals from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds as well as clients of all sexual orientations, gender identities and neurodiverse experiences. I am committed to creating a safe, supportive and nonjudgemental space where you can feel heard, respected and accepted for who you are and where you are on your journey. Together we will work to build on your strengths, develop effective coping strategies, and create lasting change that aligns with your values. Reaching out for support is a courageous first step and I am here to support you.

I’m a naturally curious, growth-oriented human who believes healing happens when insight meets action. I love helping people zoom out to see the bigger picture of their lives—while also gently zooming in on the patterns, habits, and beliefs that shape their everyday experience.

I’m drawn to the intersection of self-awareness and real-world momentum. Therapy with me is thoughtful, collaborative, and grounded. We can explore the deep stuff—identity, relationships, purpose, transitions—while also building practical tools you can actually use on a Tuesday afternoon when life is lifing.

I value emotional honesty, nervous system regulation, and sustainable growth over quick fixes. I believe you’re not broken—you’re adaptive. Together, we figure out what’s working, what’s outdated, and how to move forward in a way that feels aligned, empowered, and authentically you.

Expect warmth, insight, humor when it fits, and a space where all parts of you are welcome. Healing doesn’t have to be clinical and cold—it can be connected, intentional, and even a little energizing.

We can all feel overwhelmed by persistent sadness, anxiety, or racing thoughts. Major life shifts—like a career change, relationship end, parenting, or new phase of life—can be difficult to navigate. You do not have to figure it out alone.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) dedicated to helping adults break free from painful emotional patterns and reclaim a sense of control. My practice specializes in treating mood disorders and guiding individuals through challenging life transitions.

’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and EMDR-trained trauma specialist with over 20 years of experience supporting and restoring families. I help individuals and couples—especially women—navigate trauma, anxiety, and relationship challenges while working toward their personal goals. I provide therapy from a faith-based perspective, thoughtfully integrating Christian principles into the healing process.

With 9 years of clinical experience, I've worked alongside people through some of their hardest moments. My background includes serving as a medical social worker and therapist supporting individuals in crisis, navigating anxiety, depression, grief, and managing the unique burnout that comes with chronic illness.

I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Motivational Interviewing in my practice to work as a team with you in creating change.

As a Christian therapist, I walk with clients to strengthen and support them in learning self compassion, understanding their worth, finding insight and living wisely. I have studied psychology and marriage and family therapy for over 13 years and have been in practice as a therapist for 7 of those years. I have intentionally learned and applied principles and practices which help clients sustain growth from hurts, unprocessed feelings and lack of direction toward more energy, enjoyment and purposefulness in life again.

I look forward to consulting with you to see if our therapeutic work would fit with you!
