As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience, I offer a compassionate, supportive space where you can pause, reflect, and fully focus on yourself. Dually licensed in Indiana and Illinois, I work with clients to create meaningful routines and environments that nurture self-care, growth, and healing. Together, we explore what joy looks like for you—on your own terms—and uncover new perspectives on your strengths and resilience.
I have a strong connection with adolescents, mothers, and individuals navigating identity exploration, mood disorders, and major life transitions. With both personal and professional experience working with neurodivergent individuals, I deeply understand the importance of honoring each person’s unique way of experiencing and engaging with the world.
Together, we explore how your environment, relationships, and support systems shape your mental health. I believe healing is not one-size-fits-all. Your therapy journey is your own, and we’ll focus on your values, your pace, and your goals. I welcome you to show up as you are—to say what you need, feel what you feel, and explore your path forward.

Although I've worked with a wide range of individuals, my passion lies in supporting mothers, teenagers, and individuals living with ADHD or other neurodivergent-related experiences. I also provide therapy for fellow clinicians, offering a space for other providers to process, reflect, and receive the support they so often give to others.

My approach is grounded in what works best for each individual. We are all unique, and therapy should reflect that. I'm also deeply focused on real-life application; our work together isn't just about insight, but about making meaningful, practical changes that support your everyday life.
