I am passionate about helping people break free from the traps they create for themselves. I live for overcoming "weak, fragile, broken, victim" narratives. I love helping people rediscover their valued selves and lives. I am always mindful that one’s experiences are true and valid, and even unhealthy coping has gotten clients through painful moments. If your world has been shrinking and getting smaller and smaller, I can help. Let's get you feeling better. I will help you cultivate a road map that guides you towards your values, while also problem-solving barriers, symptoms, and challenges to help equip you for the journey.

Our life's work is helping clients achieve a better sense of self and happiness...more recently we've recognized that without good mental health providers finding this balance in life can be more difficult and stressful. As a result, we tend toward and Integrative approach and have our clients transform into the people they want to be. We see each client as an individual with many parts to their identity. Utilizing a holistic and systemic approach we help clients reintegrate the parts of themselves to function better as individuals and within their systems. Our focus tends toward a systems based approach using behavior methods.

Anxiety can be debilitating. Anxiety can make it difficult to get out of bed and makes every day tasks feel impossible. Anxiety stops you from doing what you want, what makes you happy. The thoughts can be difficult to control, making you feel like you're going crazy. Bottom line: anxiety makes life harder than it needs to be. But it doesn't have to. It might not feel like it right now, but it CAN get better.

Do you struggle with mood disorders like depression or anxiety? Do you have trouble managing big emotions like anger and frustration? Have you wondered if relationships could be better and more fulfilling? I value working with clients who will, in one way or another, let me join them where they're at and work toward a mutual understanding so that we can achieve the progress they're looking for in therapy. Sometimes, that equates to an instant rapport but, in other cases, it is just as rewarding to work through resistance and apprehension and help clients to "buy in" to the therapeutic process.

The human experience of anxiety is normal and adaptive. We would not be adequately prepared for important challenges in life if we did not experience some anxiety and fear. Anxiety is not longer adaptive when it overpowers the person and creates obstacles and challenges that interfere with daily life. At this point, a diagnosable condition may have developed. I provide specialized treatment for adults with the various anxiety disorders, including social anxiety disorder (social phobia), generalized anxiety disorder, panic, specific phobias, and obsessive compulsive disorder. I also treat conditions that commonly occur with anxiety disorders like depression or sleep disturbance.

See a good pic yet? ;) Looking for a therapist can be stressful enough because most people are unsure how to find the right therapist. The greatest predictor of success in therapy is the strength of the relationship with your counselor. In other words, it’s best to choose someone that you click with because it’s going to be easier for you to trust the process. I’m definitely a straight shooter, and I tell it like it is, but I always have your best interests in mind. I combine evidence-based treatments with talk therapy, and somehow, humor tends to creep in from time to time too.

I feel the most important aspect of our journey together is to provide a safe and affirming space for you to explore and reshape your identity. I believe that each person’s mental health journey is different and should be treated as such. There are many factors that contribute to where we are today entering therapy, it’s important to honor where we’ve been and equally important to acknowledge how far we’ve come and where we will continue to grow. I received my graduate degree from DePaul University in both school counseling and as a Licensed Practitioner Counselor (LPC). With over 8 years experience working in schools, camps, etc.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
