Chronic stress and anxiety can steal all your energy until you have nothing left for everyday problems. When problems are ignored, they multiply, get bigger. If you don’t cut the grass for too long, it becomes thick and could be full of snakes and spiders. Leave the dishes unwashed in the sink for enough time and there will be more there to clean than old food. The problem becomes more than a chore, now it is a threat, and even harder to face. These things can pile up over time and leave you feeling hopeless. If this sounds familiar, I am happy you read this, because you are exactly the kind of person I like to work with.


You CAN take back your life, and there is nothing I love more than helping my patients do that. It can be intimidating to reach out to someone for help, but you should know I am more than happy to speak with you. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation and we'll figure out the best next step.

Do you feel stuck? Like nothing will ever get better? People tell you to just get over it? It's okay to ask for help and you don't have to figure it out alone. I come from a culture that

promotes courage, creativity, and communication, and I bring those values into every session.


I work with adults navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, depression, ADHD, and trauma, drawing on your strengths while addressing what's holding you back. My goal is to guide you toward wellness and balance in your relationships, your daily life, and your sense of self.

Hello,

Feeling unmotivated, anxious, and depressed? Having trouble getting out of bed? Feel like your anxiety is dragging you down? Having trouble getting through school? You have come to the right place. I love to meet my clients where they are at in their most desperate moments. We all need a good "pick me up" from time-to-time and speaking to a therapist is always a great first step. I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy. I have experience working with children and all the way up to geriatric population. I am a Chicago-Based Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am bi-lingual in English/Spanish. Let's begin your journey!

I graduated with my Bachelor of Arts in Social Work at Northeastern Illinois University in 2013 and my Master's in Social Work at Aurora University in 2014.

I know starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you’ve felt misunderstood in the past.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience in behavioral health, and I hold a Doctor of Social Work (DSW). I specialize in childhood trauma, anxiety, burnout, and working with neurodivergent individuals, including ADHD and autism. I often support people who feel overwhelmed, stuck in survival mode, or exhausted from masking and holding everything together on their own.

My style is warm and down to earth, and I focus on meeting you where you are in each session. Therapy with me is collaborative and flexible, shaped around what works best for you. My goal is to offer a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported as you work toward meaningful change.

Therapist

I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor with a background that includes years of work with people navigating some of the hardest chapters of their lives — including incarcerated individuals, people struggling with addiction, and those carrying cultural weight that doesn't show up in a standard intake form. I'm South Asian, I grew up navigating two worlds, and that shapes how I show up for clients who've had to figure things out without a clear map. I don't do therapy with a clipboard. I'm direct, I'm real, and I'm genuinely interested in what's underneath the surface.
