I am a LCSW with more than 11 years of experience supporting individuals and families navigating life transitions. I earned my master's degree from the University of Chicago, where I focused on clinical practice and community based mental health.
My background includes work in foster care, community mental health, and supporting people navigating anxiety, stress, and major life changes. I’ve spent much of my career helping clients build emotional resilience, strengthen identity, and feel more grounded in their daily lives.
I work with adults, teens, and caregivers, and I bring a collaborative, down to earth style to therapy. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to make meaningful change.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, life transitions, and questions of identity and belonging. Separately, I bring specialized experience supporting people living with chronic and complex illness, as well as caregivers navigating the emotional impact of illness, uncertainty, grief, and caregiving. Whatever brings you to therapy, our work can be a space to slow down, better understand your experiences, and explore what you want for yourself moving forward.
If you've been carrying the weight of trauma, grief, or anxiety for longer than you can remember, you're not alone.
I've spent 12 years as a licensed counselor in Chicago working with people of all ages, from young children to seniors. What keeps me in this work is the moment a client realizes they've been surviving something hard, and that there's a different way forward.
I have a particular passion for working with mothers navigating postpartum struggles, families dealing with grief and loss, and adults working through trauma and PTSD. Many of my clients were looking for someone who would be real with them, not just professional. That's what you'll find here.
Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, if you are feeling stuck and don't know where to begin, I can help you find the way. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and comfortable being yourself. My clients often describe me as warm, down-to-earth, and easy to talk to — someone they can open up to without feeling judged or rushed. I have a strong passion for supporting my clients in the way they need and desire to be supported. I have a deep personal and professional understanding of the human mind and the struggles of life. I genuinely care about my clients and their wellbeing.
I am passionate about helping people! Everyone wants to be heard and valued. My approach as a counselor is to build a strong therapeutic relationship with you in a nonjudgmental space. I will demonstrate consistent empathy towards your feelings and struggles while verbalizing positive regard and validating you. I believe thoughts (positive & negative) have strong influences on emotions and as well as behaviors. I believe that answers to life’s difficulties are within each of us
I’m a licensed therapist dedicated to supporting individuals on their journey toward emotional wellbeing, healing, and personal growth. My educational background includes school based and mental health therapy specializing in relationship issues, anxiety and stress. You don’t have to have it all figured out to take the first step. If you’re looking for a warm, nonjudgmental space, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
