I am a Master’s-level clinical counselor who earned my M.A. in Clinical Counseling with a specialization in Addiction Disorders from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. I provide individual therapy to adults ages 18+, supporting clients navigating concerns such as ADHD management, anxiety, depression, stress and burnout, life transitions, relationship concerns, and parenting challenges. I also work with individuals impacted by substance use and recovery, including those exploring harm reduction, relapse prevention, and building sustainable coping strategies.
My approach is collaborative, practical, and compassionate. I aim to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered—especially if you’ve felt misunderstood in the past. I frequently integrate evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and trauma informed care to help build insight.
I am committed to providing an affirming, safe, and open environment for all clients, including members of the LGBTQ+ community. Whether you’re seeking support for a specific challenge or looking for deeper personal growth, we will work together to identify goals that feel meaningful and realistic.
