I bring nearly ten years of experience in guiding adults of all ages through their therapy journeys. My background spans inpatient hospital settings, outpatient community mental health centers, specialized outpatient clinics, and private practice, equipping me with a broad perspective on mental wellness. I hold a holistic view of therapy and emphasize the importance of nurturing overall health and wellness. I encourage clients to examine their habits, relationship dynamics, and lifestyle choices as integral components of mental health. I empower clients to uncover and overcome the barriers to their personal growth.
I am a staunch advocate for evidence-based methodologies, incorporating CBT, DBT and ACT tailoring my approach to the unique needs of each client. I have expertise in (but not limited to) these areas: anxiety, depression, disordered eating and body image, couples, relationships, life transitions, chronic pain, grief, trauma, stress, health/wellness.
My philosophy centers on the belief that change is within everyone's reach, and I am dedicated to helping clients find their path to becoming “unstuck.” I am licensed in both Illinois and Wisconsin. Reach out to me to schedule some time to talk!
