I work to create an atmosphere that is safe for my clients. I may use humor, ask more questions, make comments. As we progress, I will suggest new ways to approach situations and problems. Sometimes I teach my clients relaxation techniques. We talk. I listen. Sometimes I teach or even pray with my clients. In my office, folks are invited to be direct, to be honest, and to know that there will be no judgment of them for revealing their "dark side." Their challenge is reveal who and what they are. Mine is to make it safe.

You're a millennial woman and something is off, even though life looks full on the outside. You're capable and thoughtful, yet unfulfilled and not as happy as you'd hoped. Maybe you're questioning your career, navigating a breakup or relationship changes, or feeling stuck during a life transition. You’re ready for something to shift because you want life to feel more meaningful.
I work with women navigating career transitions, relationship challenges, divorce or breakups, anxiety, and life changes. Together we explore what’s beneath the surface, to make lasting change.

I believe we all have the ability to heal from life stressors and suffering. I use an integrative approach to draw upon each person's individual inner resources. I tailor the therapeutic experience to meet the unique needs of each person. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and understanding environment to openly explore and discuss issues, as well as working to facilitate growth and self-acceptance. It takes courage to seek counseling/therapy. I work to respectfully collaborate and to assist in gaining a deeper understanding, while also helping to identify solutions towards a more satisfying and fulfilling life.

Having lived in multiple countries—China, England, and the U.S.—and experienced life both as part of the majority and the minority, I bring a deep appreciation for the richness and complexity of diverse life experiences. I view therapy as a collaborative relationship—two people exploring the deeper truths of life together. My goal is to understand your unique personal story and support you in navigating emotional and relational challenges. Through our work, I hope to help you break free from limiting patterns, build emotional resilience, and cultivate more meaningful connections with others.

With over 25 years of experience I have worked with a range of issues and populations. My main approach to therapy is cognitive behavioral theory (CBT) in order to process thoughts, feelings, and beliefs that contribute to distorted thinking and behavior, therefore affecting emotional well-being. The goal is to challenge and reframe so that the client achieves their personal goals, to cope with life transitions and obstacles. I also utilize Attachment Theory, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy. I've assisted clients with depression, anxiety, grief/loss, trauma, life transitions, and various others.

I specialize in women's health, eating disorders, couples as well as grief and trauma (among other issues). I believe that therapy should feel supportive, collaborative, and focused on helping you build skills and process emotions that lead to lasting change and a more balanced, fulfilling life.

Taking a holistic, multi-modality approach with my clients provides more tools for creative exploration, discovery and problem solving. This range of tools rests upon a solid foundation of trust-building and providing a safe, non-judgmental space. I specialize in parenting, aging parents, communication in relationships with partners and children, workplace challenges and transitions, and management of time, stress and anxiety.

I work with people navigating anxiety, identity concerns, and relationship challenges shaped by cultural, systemic, and family dynamics. Many are seeking clarity, connection, and practical support as they make intentional changes in their lives. Therapy offers a space to process emotions, explore patterns, and build confidence. Together, we work to feel more grounded, empowered, and authentic in how they relate to themselves, others, and the world around them.

Therapy doesn’t have to feel like a mystery or a monologue. If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself or others I'm here to help you make sense of it all. I help to foster more authentic relationships with self and with others using a relational, insight-oriented approach grounded in mindfulness and curiosity.
Much of who we are is shaped by early experiences, family dynamics, cultural context, and, yes—sometimes that one offhand comment from a middle school teacher. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that keep you from feeling grounded and connected, and work toward a version of you that feels more real.

Clinical experiences and life experiences continue to teach me that each of us has a unique experience of being human—Each of us lives a life of depth, complexity, relationships, and hardships.
In my private practice, I work with adults of various ages. I frequently work with people needing help with significant life changes (i.e., changes in relationship/marital status, geographical moves, career changes, having children, beginning college, retirement, etc.), anxiety and stress, depression, social difficulties, and family troubles.

Are you in a place where you feel the need to make changes in your life to improve your happiness and overall well-being? Or how about having a feeling that you're ready to begin healing? Maybe it's addressing your social drug/alcohol use, or wondering why you feel stuck, and feel the need to explore your intrinsic wants/needs. I believe there's an importance in empowering one's spirit, identifying blocks, and learning new skills to strengthen one's ability to make wanted changes. I focus on enhancing existing strengths, encouraging mindfulness, and building coping skills to support these changes.

I am a licensed therapist in the states of Florida and Illinois - I use TeamCBT, which is a cutting-edge, evidence-based approach that gives them tools to change the way they think and feel and gets them the relief they are looking for. My goal is to be the last counselor they have to see by empowering them with techniques and strategies they can use for the rest of their lives. It is incredible to play a role in getting relief for people who have been suffering and to see them go from despair to freedom. It often happens in a matter of a few sessions. I have been specializing in this approach for over 5 years.

As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Art Therapist, I believe healing happens through authentic connection and finding the right pathways for each individual. My approach is collaborative—I see therapy as a shared journey where I'm fully present and equally invested alongside you in each session. While traditional talk therapy forms the foundation of my practice, I also offer art therapy as an option for those interested in exploring creative expression as part of their healing process. Some clients find that art-making provides a unique way to process emotions & experiences, when it can feel difficult to put into words
