I received a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology and have been practicing as a Licensed Professional Counselor for seven years. I enjoy working with children and adolescents ages 5-18, adults and families experiencing difficulty with anxiety, depression, mood concerns, trauma, grief/loss, life transitions, and issues with self-esteem. I also have experience working with individuals diagnosed with ADD/ADHD and Autism Spectrum. I believe in understanding and treating the whole person and creating an open, safe and empathic space to explore and work toward the changes you desire.

Sometimes life throws you a curveball or two. Some people have been dealt a difficult card from the start. I believe we all possess the tools needed to get through times of adversity, but at times, may need a little guidance. Having an objective ally to cheer you on can really make the difference in reaching your goals and feeling confident along the way. I strive to create a stimulating, comfortable, and safe place for people to be vulnerable. I tend to have a relaxed conversational style, while using evidenced based materials and approaches. I am committed to jumping in the muck with you so we can find solutions together.

Life is a journey that requires moments of reflection on where we have been in order to make decisions about where life can lead us next. Meeting with a therapist enables individuals and families the opportunities to be curious as to why patterns exist and encourages you to ask the questions - is this working for me? Would change benefit me? I am an attachment based therapist that works from a strengths base to encourage individuals to tolerate the discomfort that comes with introspection and inspire growth.

You’re sitting here and a thought pops into your head saying “I am not enough” which leads you down a rabbit hole of negative thinking and now has you feeling anxious, irritable, and moody. You don’t know how to stop this train wreck of thinking and your thoughts have taken power over you. You’ve tried everything you can think of to silence your inner-critic: reading books, blogs, yoga, journaling, and even therapy. But none of it has worked, at least not for long. You’re ready for a change.

Navigating life's bumps in the road, whether big or small, can be overwhelming. I enjoy working with adults (18+) who are ready for a change but aren't sure where to start. I have experience working with adults experiencing symptoms of depression and anxiety, stress, life transitions, self-esteem, and relationship issues. I also have experience working with adults who want to be the best version of themselves. I have received feedback from previous clients that having a safe space to share their inner most thoughts and feelings and to feel heard yet challenged on irrational thoughts, were key in their journey to wellbeing.

The ability to acknowledge our struggles is the first step towards positive change. We are all capable of it. The majority of my career has been spent working with children, teenagers and young adults. The focus is usually on helping them manage issues related to depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma and low self-esteem. I enjoy getting to engage in family therapy, with the focus on improving communication and family dynamics. My work with adults focuses on similar concerns. I enjoy clients who come to therapy with a desire to understand themselves and change behaviors or thought patterns that are negatively impacting their lives.

Not accepting new clients until fall 2024. The thought of meeting with a therapist can be intimidating, and I pride myself in my clients describing me as being very down to earth and easy to talk with. Most individuals who have never pursued therapy before are pleasantly surprised at how much they enjoy this relationship. I work with Willis (Great Pyrenees/Great Dane) who is an AKC Canine Good Citizen and registered Therapy Dog through Alliance of Therapy Dogs. He is available to be present during appointments if desired.

At times we get stuck and can't quite reach our destination without additional support. Perhaps our methods of coping and communicating aren't working as well as we hoped. We might feel overwhelmed and frustrated by our circumstances and don't know what to do next. Reaching out for therapy may feel defeating in some ways, yet that desire to be seen, feel heard, and find relief is strong. We arrive here with some hope that things can change.

I'm not currently taking new clients. My hope is that while in therapy with me, you will experience personal growth that provides you with a feeling of peace and a release from pain. Our work together could point you in the direction of a sustained sense of balance, happiness, and wholeness. I typically use a blend of cognitive-behavioral, family systems, and yoga therapies to work toward finding a lasting sense of well-being.

Do you feel stress or anxiety? Does your life feel out of balance? Although you are managing, you might feel like it takes more effort to do what came easily before. Perhaps you feel stuck, and need some guidance and support to get back on track, and moving toward achieving your goals and dreams. Imagine having a comfortable, supportive place where you can be yourself and begin working to change the things preventing you from moving forward and thriving. When working with individuals, I help them identify, explore, and integrate creative and customized solutions to overcome their fears, break down barriers, and get "unstuck."
