As a clinical therapist with nearly a decade of experience I can truly say people can change their lives by coming to therapy. The therapist can be their guide or mentor to that change. My main area of focus these days is helping clients ages 10-30 with clinical treatment for ADHD, Anxiety, OCD, and Depression. I also focus on working with athletes and helping them manage the demands of performance.

Hello! I am a licensed clinical professional counselor that specializes in the treatment of Anxiety Disorders.. I have been in practice for almost 30 years. I also have a specialty in treating children and teens as well. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy with an emphasis on exposure and response prevention in working with these disorders. I have a firm and loving approach with my patients which helps push patients towards their goals

On the outside, you may be high-achieving and appear to have it all together. Inside, you're exhausted from overthinking, second-guessing yourself, and feeling like nothing you do is enough. You say yes when you want to say no, feel guilty putting yourself first, and worry about disappointing others. In relationships, you struggle to express what hurts, question whether you're asking for too much, or give more than you receive. Maybe you've spent years being the strong one, keeping the peace, or putting others first because past experiences taught you that your needs came last.

Are you struggling with navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, or simply looking to reconnect with yourself? I am a licensed therapist dedicated to creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can get to know yourself better and optimize your mental wellbeing. My goal is to create a therapeutic space grounded in compassion, empowerment, and trust. Healing is possible—and you don’t have to do it alone. Let’s take the next step together.

Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been in private practice since 2020. Beforehand, I worked in Chicago schools as a school social worker and paraprofessional. In my practice I focus on helping individuals throughout the lifespan who are looking for healing from trauma, and help managing anxiety and depressive symptoms.

I know what it's like to feel stuck.

You know something needs to change- because you've been carrying all this guilt around for too long without any support. Maybe you've considered giving up a time or two- and that's why you're here. Either way, you're exhausted. And that makes sense.

If you're looking for a therapist who specializes in working with individuals who experienced hurt due to relational wounds, you're in the right place.

Many of the clients I work with struggle with complex attachment wounds, religious trauma and perfectionism disguised as strength. I work alongside my clients to address the root of the overwhelm and shame by offering intensive EMDR (for private-pay only), IFS-informed, holistic self-love practices and person-centered psychology that leads to experiencing true empowerment and connection to your intuition.

​

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but my goal is to create a safe, collaborative, and supportive space from our very first session—whether you come as an individual or as a couple.

My client-centered, trauma-informed approach means your stories, values, and goals shape the work we do together. I help teens, adults, and couples heal from past trauma, grief, addiction, navigate anxiety and depression, and build stronger, healthier relationships.

As a bilingual therapist (English and Spanish), I’m sensitive to the cultural and relational contexts that shape who you are and how you connect with others.

For clients who desire it, I can also integrate spiritual reflection into therapy, always honoring your level of comfort.

I believe therapy should be a place where you don’t have to have it all together. Many of my clients are high-achieving professionals who are used to being the “strong one” for everyone else, but privately struggle with relationships, boundaries, confidence, or life transitions. I strive to create a warm, collaborative space where you can show up authentically, gain insight into patterns that no longer serve you, and build healthier relationships with yourself and others. I especially enjoy working with Black women and LGBTQ+ adults and strive to create an affirming, culturally responsive space where clients can show up fully as themselves.
