It takes courage to seek out professional help. This may be your first time starting therapy or you are ready to continue the process after a new life challenge has come up. I strongly believe that you already have the inner resources you need to feel better, but may need assistance accessing these resources in a healthy way. Our work together will be about finding out what blocks you from feeling more empowered and alive. By learning new ways to be with difficult thoughts and experiences, it will be easier to meet the challenges and change that life inevitable brings.

My clients are hard-working and desire a better quality of life. They are willing to be challenged, trying new techniques to move forward. I use information about normal developmental transitions to move people when they are stuck. The focus is on identity and spirituality as themes I weave into my work. This does not mean organized religion, rather concepts such as connections, acceptance, peace, and letting go. If you choose to combine religion and spiritualuity, for your own growth, that is your choice.

Our goal is to help you discover how you can overcome your personal struggles and resolve the issues that are keeping you stuck so that you can live the life you envision for yourself. It's your time now! It's your time to live the life that you are destined to live. It would honor me to serve you now. The Ardent Counseling Center has 18 offices, with 75+ clinicians throughout Chicagoland, suburbs, and down to the middle of Illinois. And all of Iowa.

I am licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) who has been providing counseling to individuals, couples, and families since 2000. My personal intention for working with you, and all of my clients, is to approach therapy from a holistic perspective. A holistic perspective looks at the mind, body, and spirit with the goal of bringing these aspects of self into harmony. My primary goal is to help you foster your own inner strength to create the life you want. You may find that the therapy process cultivates more peace in your life or changes the way you want to live.

I work with individuals and couples with a wide variety of problems including relationship difficulties, life transitions, depression, anxiety, and loss. I place great importance on creating a safe and non-judgmental environment in which my clients can freely explore their thoughts and feelings. My clients report that they appreciate the feedback I give them and the opportunity to consider their problems from another point of view. I have found that when I feel I have a good understanding of my client that they also feel understood and supported by me, leading to productive conversations, identifying how to change old patterns and achieve personal growth.

Life experiences and the thoughts and feelings we have about them can be overwhelming to figure out and make sense of alone. I believe that the therapeutic relationship fostered with clients is a safe space where you can truly be seen, heard, and feel comfortable being your authentic self. I help clients make sense, make meaning, and manage the difficult challenges and symptoms experienced throughout your daily lives (and past). I'm LGBTQ affirming, and I practice as an integrative, intersectional-feminist relational trauma therapist who operates from an anti-racist/anti-oppressive lens.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults from a variety of cultural backgrounds. While I tend conceptualize from a psychodynamic perspective, my treatment tends towards a more integrative model. I often use treatment techniques from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused treatment. I believe that one theory alone is not necessarily going to apply to every individual from a multitude of cultures and backgrounds.

Therapy is a unique opportunity to work through difficulties in one's life. As a therapist, I build a strong relationship with my patients, and create a space for absolute safety. Within this relationship, there can be free and honest expression, introspection, as well as the development of self-understanding. I believe that therapy is an opportunity to work through conflicts and obstacles that stand in the way of us having the life we want.

I have also taught the Artist Way, about connecting with your creativity. I love my work and feel lucky to do what I do.

Hello, and thank you for visiting my page. You are likely here because you are experiencing some emotional distress and are considering counseling. One of the most important decisions you will now make is choosing a therapist whose therapeutic approach will work best for you. To that end, it’s my pleasure to provide you with this brief biography and I look forward to meeting with you and continuing the journey towards your health and well-being. I have worked extensively with issues such as Anxiety, Trauma, Addictions, Anger, Loss, Depression, Relationships, Families, Self-Harm, Personality Disorders, and Life Changes.

I work collaboratively with adults and couples with anxiety, relationships challenges, and trauma. I also teach yoga and meditation and understand the role the body plays in holding trauma and how chronic stress can contribute to a disconnect between the mind/body. I am passionate about health and nutrition and believe that lifestyle has a strong impact on mood as do our thoughts and behaviors. I believe that it's universal to feel anxious, bad, stuck, and out of balance and to struggle through big and small life transitions. By being open to what's not working we can use awareness and make small shifts that have lasting impact.

Self-care and healthy relationships can have a significant impact on an individual's mental health. As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, I believe in enhancing personal growth. I am dedicated to being an attentive and active listener. I will work collaboratively with you to develop short and long-term goals and in identifying barriers to accomplishing and maintaining these goals. My support and encouragement can instill hope and motivation to change by developing healthy coping skills.

I specialize in the treatment of depression, anxiety, and behavioral problems in adolescents and adults (ages 12 and up). In my work with adolescents, therapy often focuses on dealing with stress related to academic demands, difficulties in peer and romantic relationships, family conflict, low self-esteem, as well as individuals struggling with self-identity. I also work with young adults who feel overwhelmed during the transition to college or entering the work force for the first time.

When you sit down for an individual or couples therapy session, you can expect me to bring a special type of energy to therapy. I believe that my clients have the ability to create beautiful, long lasting change in order to facilitate more meaningful, loving relationships. I pay close attention to patterns and look to understand a person’s full story before examining the “issue” that’s bringing the client or clients in. I listen to understand and use a nonjudgmental, collaborative approach so that together we can explore, discuss, challenge thoughts and feelings, and create goals.
