I serve as the catalyst for swift transformation, guiding you toward clarity and direction in your life, work or relationships. You will discover powerful insights, gain access to valuable tools, and unleash your hidden potential. With over twenty years of experience as a licensed clinical therapist in Illinois, I will tailor your therapy journey to ensure swift transformation with learning that will last well beyond our therapy sessions.

I believe healing is possible through an invitation to connect with your body, emotions, and thoughts. To build understanding about how your experiences, relationships, and culture have impacted your life. I seek to be a companion in the process of sharing your personal story as you sift through the well of your entire lived experience to discover your authentic voice. Together, we will use body based interventions, emotionally focused work, and brain-based approaches like EMDR to reclaim the chapters of your life where difficult experiences stole your sense of who you are, and nurture growth, healing, and overcome loneliness.

What would it be like to listen to what your body is asking for right now? Including the body within the psychotherapy process is a necessity because our body carries the memories of our personal life experiences. This somatic approach allows for a more holistic and integrated healing process, as it addresses the physical aspects of our mental and emotional struggles. By paying attention to bodily sensations, movements, and reactions during therapy, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and our patterns.

I work best with people who are in emotional pain and are willing to be partners in the process of healing; people who are seeking comfort, but also desire to learn and grow emotionally.

Are you struggling with depression or anxiety? Are you struggling with finding purpose or meaning? Are you struggling with a cross-cultural transition or race-related issue? Together, we can understand the self within our socio-cultural context and build the foundation necessary to create space for intentional, yet flexible, change to occur. Let’s work together to find the change you are looking for.

I work hard to understand, diagnose and frame what the issues really are, and work gently and intelligently with my clients to help them grow into their own abilities to change the status quo and “see” what is possible for them. This is not magic -- it’s work. But hard work and a commitment by both of us to a trusting and open therapeutic relationship can produce what seems like magical outcomes. In my view, that can only happen in a place of safety and hope. I strive every day to create an atmosphere of both so that true healing and real change can actually be achieved.
