I believe in every person's ability to learn positive belief systems that will promote growth and spiritual balance. My niche is working with clients who feel stuck in their life and do not always have a defined negative experience to explain why they are feeling stuck. Often times it is hard to identify a single memory that solidifies a negative belief system about oneself. "This is just who I am," I will hear, but everyone has the potential to move their life forward.

We often seek therapy when something within us feels unsettled. When we’re overwhelmed, disconnected, or carrying emotions that feel too heavy or too tangled to sort through alone. Life may be moving forward, but we may not feel ready to move with it. This can bring frustration, sadness, anxiety, or a blend of feelings that make it hard to begin. In my work, I help clients gently explore what shapes their emotions, relationships, and sense of self in the world. With empathy and curiosity, we make meaning of what feels unresolved and create space for healing.

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.

I work with people who want to deeply understand themselves, create more meaningful connections with others, and learn new ways of coping with pain and life's challenges. Many people seek therapy because they are dealing with depression, anxiety, PTSD and the effects of trauma, and relationship challenges. But often, those are broad terms for more subtle issues—dissatisfaction, stuckness, loneliness, feeling lost, or experiencing difficult feelings about oneself or others. Whatever your specific concern, therapy can promote growth, change, and more freedom in your life.

Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, doubt, or painful past experiences get in the way of living fully.
