In my 25 years of practice, I have learned some important truths: what happened to us doesn’t have to determine what happens for us; under the right conditions, the human spirit orients toward growth and wholeness; therapy can be an important addition to the healing process. People come to therapy for many reasons, often the initial phase of the work is in improving coping strategies so you can feel better sooner. Beyond symptomology, understanding you and your unique context are essential for unearthing longstanding behavior patterns. Therapy is about revising your story and making you the author of the next chapter.
As a licensed Clinical Psychologist, I strive to work within a culturally competent, trauma-informed, and relationally-based framework. I have had the privilege of working with adolescents, adults, individuals and couples from diverse backgrounds and across many clinical settings (university/high school based clinics, hospitals and private practice).
Therapy is at heart a relationship, two minds and spirits attempting to form a healing alliance. I am committed to providing a caring, non-judgmental and accepting environment where you can be heard and understood. I look forward to assisting you on your journey toward an improved relationship with yourself and others. Locations Evanston/Chicago/Quad Cities
