I work with patients struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, life changes, anger, resentments - Individuals and Couples of ALL orientation - this is a NO judgement zone.
Guided by the wisdom of Jung's words, "There can be no transforming of darkness into light, without emotion," I specialize in unraveling the intricate threads of emotional intelligence. Grounded in a profound understanding of belief systems, my training delves into the core, where past ideologies shape your present reality. Embracing emotional intelligence is not just a skill; it's a transformative state-of-mind that shapes thoughts and heightens emotional awareness. I advocate not for change but for understanding and acceptance.

Let's get real – life can be tough.
Born & raised in the Midwest, I bring authenticity to my approach. I always wanted to be a psychologist, even having a notebook labeled “psychoanalysis” at age 14 where I fervently scribbled & analyzed notes. My approach is one of genuineness and, when appropriate, humor to encourage my clients to feel as comfortable with me as they would a lifelong friend.
