Are you ready to take action and bring about positive change in your life and relationships? Are you looking for a deeper understanding of both who you are and how that shapes your interactions with the world? I feel passionately about guiding individuals and couples as you develop the skills needed for positive and impactful change both individually and within your relationships. I will help you to gain a better understanding of your own story and how it shapes your interactions with the world.

When my clients walk in the door, I want them to feel my commitment to helping them conquer whatever battles they are currently facing. “I encourage them to show up exactly as they are–without fear of judgment–and to know that they will have an ally in me.” My approach is one that is open, honest, engaging and sprinkled with humor. I do my best work with children, teens, or adults that find themselves in the midst of a transition–whether it be helping a child cope with their anxiety, figuring out how to adjust to a blended family, or guiding an adolescent trying to choose which college to attend.

I work with clients who have anxiety, depression and self esteem issues. What we tell ourselves and what our parents have told us can define how we feel about ourselves. The message is often we are "not good enough". I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients to get rid of the habits and thoughts that may keep them anxious and stressed. A big part of my work is teaching people to negotiate and effectively talk with families and friends, and to be heard and understood without causing any drama. I have trained people in assertiveness and taught parenting classes.

Reaching out for help is a very important, yet difficult step to make. This is why it is important to meet my clients where they are and help them tap into their own strengths in a safe and compassionate space. I provide individual therapy to adolescents, adults, and families with a focus on those experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, phobias, interpersonal issues, and change of life issues (postpartum, coping with loss, transition into adulthood, and aging). I also specialize in postpartum anxiety and depression and I am certified in Maternal Mental Health through PSI (Postpartum Support International).

Life can be challenging at times, but you don't have to go through those challenges alone. Let's work together to design a treatment that will help you thrive. Our work will focus on helping you gain a better understanding of the root causes of the issues you are facing and work toward making meaningful changes in your life. Whether you're looking for symptom relief, healthier relationships, or greater self-understanding, I'm here to help.

Seeking clients who are thoughtful, reflective, and strong willed. Above all else, authenticity means the most to me. My goal is to provide therapeutic services that lead to real change. I specialize in treating clients who have been feeling “stuck” and are looking to improve their mental health. Can you relate to the feeling of being stuck? What is something you've always wanted to work on? What emotions do you think are getting in the way?

I provide a process for people to meaningfully heal, change and grow. Whether struggling through a life transition, grief, or seeking to empty destructive patterns and behaviors, my unique approach offers a path towards symptom relief and greater personal peace. People that have been labeled "resistant" or "too difficult to treat" by previous therapists have often found success working with me. Through traditional therapy models and innovative interventions, I guide clients to lasting, life-long change.

I understand the strength and courage it takes to seek out counseling services, so I want to commend you for taking this first step. I believe that much of the pain and suffering that leads us to counseling stems from some form of unresolved trauma. Together, we will work towards identifying and healing from this trauma while accomplishing your desired goals along the way. I am passionate about my work and seek to create a safe, therapeutic environment that fosters personal growth and development.

I am currently working at Ellie Mental Health-Burr Ridge as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who works with children/adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I have a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology, specializing in Latinx Mental Health. I understand the importance of my clients’ experiences and that cultural factors and social issues may affect their mental health. I focus on providing treatment primarily through culturally adapted, evidence-based interventions using ACT, CBT, and DBT. I value fostering a therapeutic space that is safe, welcoming, and empathetic.

I specialize in working with families and individuals of all ages experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, interpersonal communication deficits, self-esteem issues, anger management, emotional dysregulation, and behavior issues. I am skilled at having those difficult conversations around social identity and encourages an open dialogue with others through developing communication skills. I incorporate social justice and advocacy for human rights into my work as a therapist. I believe everyone is an expert in their own life and my role is to support authenticity. I provide a safe space for you to be who you are; this time is for you.

Utilizing depth psychology, psychodynamics, CBT, DBT, and creative modalities, we work to recognize the root of the issues. Drawing on 20+ therapies, I seek to guide people to discover their gifts, understand dreams, and develop integrity-filled, meaningful, fulfilling lives. The process gains people knowledge that serves them throughout their lives. Clients learn how to understand their symptoms as needs not being met. Through this process, people make inner and outer changes to heal and transform.

I founded Iter with the goal of assisting our adolescents, young adults, and adults to continually support and encourage them.
