I'm passionate about helping people navigate relational challenges-whether as individuals, couples, or families. Our relationships play a vital role in our overall well-being. Often, the struggles we face are deeply connected to how we relate to those closest to us. It’s human to long for connection, for a sense of safety and belonging in the arms of our loved ones—be it a partner, a parent, or a close friend who feels like family. Yet, these very relationships can sometimes be the source of our deepest pain. My goal is to help you make sense of that and find healing, connection, and clarity in the relationships that matter most.
I help individuals, couples, and families heal from the pain that can surface in close relationships. My approach is warm, trauma- and loss-informed, grounded in emotionally focused, attachment-based therapy, and always respectful of the cultural context that shapes your story, creating a supportive space where we can explore challenges together.
As an associate professor at Governors State University, I teach and supervise future therapists. I was also a family physician, which gives me a deep appreciation for how physical health and emotional well-being connect—especially when supporting clients facing illness-related challenges.
