Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Rockford, IL

I am here because I deeply care about getting to know you and sharing in your experiences, struggles, hardships and successes. I believe that everyone has the capacity to implement positive changes in their life with a little support. Therapy is a space for everyone to feel welcomed, supported and cared for. My goal is to create an environment that is non-judgmental, feels safe, and allows you to explore your life story, process your experiences, emotions, and better manage life's stressors. You are the expert of your life and I am here to help steer you in the direction in which you want to go. We can absolutely find hope together.

I specialize in working with young adults and adults (18+) in navigating mood and anxiety concerns, life changes and transitions, effective communication, and managing urges. I value meeting you where you are at with your concerns and establishing a collaborative relationship that'll help guide each step of the way.

I attended undergraduate at Millersville University in Pennsylvania and received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. I then went on to receive my Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology: Counseling from Roosevelt University in Chicago, IL. I have experience working in residential, partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) programs, as well as seeing individual clients within a private practice.

I have an integrative approach to therapy. I believe that everyone needs something different, therapy is not a "one size fits all," and I value meeting you where you're at. First and foremost, I am client-centered, meaning I really believe you are the expert of your life and experiences, and I respect those experiences and will learn from them to support you in your goals. I am also strengths based, it is important to identify your strengths and build upon them as you are doing the work of therapy. I have a strong background in teaching Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) skills and strategies to assist with mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance, as well as help practice acceptance, create space, engage in our values and commit to actions that align with those values. I value family, connection, humor, genuineness, growth and transparency. I feel truly grateful to have a career that I love and am passionate about. I have been told that I have a calming energy, and I hope that I can bring a sense of calmness or stillness into your life. We all get wrapped up in the busyness and the expectations, myself included. Let's make a space for you.

As a licensed clinical social worker, I've spent my career working alongside people

who've often felt unseen, underserved, or unsupported by the systems meant to help

them. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults in marginalized communities

navigating identity, mental health, relationships, and trauma. My approach is

grounded in genuine curiosity about who you are, not just what brings you in. You'll

find a space built on empathy and empowerment, where you can show up exactly as

you are. I'd love to connect.

I have 16 years of clinical experience, working with Children, adolescents, and adults. I provide individual, family, pre/post natal and couples counseling. I take a warm and inviting approach to ensure you feel comfortable as a client. I specialize in anxiety, depression, school concerns, family/ home concerns, friendship issues, ADHD, grief, narcissistic abuse, and autism. I also have 20 years of experience as a school social worker.

I believe people deserve to feel understood before they’re asked to change. My approach to therapy is direct and collaborative. I work primarily with men and couples who feel stuck in patterns of conflict, disconnection, defensiveness, or shutting down, and want to better understand themselves and the people they care about.
