It can be frustrating when you’ve tried it all—deep breathing, mindfulness, positive self-talk—and still find yourself stuck in the same emotional patterns or painful relationship cycles. You’re doing your best, yet the same arguments repeat, the same fears resurface, and you end up feeling alone or misunderstood. It's not because you’re broken—it’s because your nervous system may still be in survival mode, carrying the impact of past trauma that no amount of willpower can soothe on its own. Trauma reshapes how we relate to ourselves and others, keeping us caught in patterns of disconnection when all we want is safety and calm.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), and Art and Yoga Therapist practicing in the Chicago Area. I work to provide a safe and collaborative space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in order to facilitate meaningful change in your life. The root of my work is assisting others to discover, strengthen, and grow inner peace. If you feel grounded in yourself, it's so much easier to ride out the obstacles - big and small - that life throws at you. I believe the process of change is not a straight line or one-size-fits-all model.
