With over 20 years of clinical experience, I bring a compassionate, understanding and results-driven approach to therapy. My education began at Chicago State University where I received bachelor's degree and Jane Addams College of Social Work where I received my masters.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with a Master's degree in Community Counseling. I believe healing begins when we feel safe enough to show up as our authentic selves. My approach to mental wellness is holistic, recognizing the connection between our thoughts, emotions, relationships, and overall well-being.
As a mental health professional, transformational leader, and certified executive coach, I bring a compassionate, collaborative perspective to helping women navigate life's challenges. I understand that being the person everyone depends on can sometimes leave little room to care for yourself. My goal is to provide a supportive, judgment-free space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow.
I work with women across the lifespan who are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, self-esteem concerns, and major life transitions. Together, we'll explore patterns, strengthen coping skills, establish healthy boundaries, and build greater self-awareness.
I believe you are more than the challenges you're facing. Therapy is an opportunity to invest in yourself, reconnect with your strengths, and create a life that feels more balanced, fulfilling, and aligned with who you are. You don't have to have everything figured out to begin. You just have to be willing to take the first step.
