I believe a person’s identity, values and beliefs guide their path of healing. Therapy can be a way of liberating ourselves from limiting ideas, societal messages, oppression and isolation. I see you as the expert in your experience and collaborate with you to develop a space to learn and grow. My therapeutic approach is both systemic and person-centered with a focus on inherent strengths and resilience. I pull from relational, attachment, family systems, racial trauma and polyvagal theories while using such modalities as ACT, DBT, CBT, TCI-F and Motivational Interviewing. I also draws, when appropriate, from my own experience.

I am here to listen to your journey with compassion and understanding because it matters. In my journey so far, I have handled multiple academic experiences at Loyola University. As a result, I bring to our therapy relationship a combination of academic knowledge and genuine connection. I became aware of the transforming impact of hands-on learning while attending Loyola University. My own experiences and studies have increased my understanding of the complexities of everyday life in addition to delivering theoretical knowledge. I am currently seeing clients for free.

Let me tell you about my vibe, I will tell you what I tell all my clients- "Im not the fluffy" therapist but I am your biggest cheerleader. I am not the therapist who will use fancy clinical terms, but instead I use totally random analogies that will probably make you laugh or even better yet, totally understand what Im talking about. I use sarcasm and humor but can reign it in and let my empath shine through. I work with many first responders and families in the community as I have a personal motivation to keep our heroes healthy. I have a direct client focused style and find major purpose in helping people find their worth!

Remember that Friends episode when Ross invited Rachel and Joey over for a joint date night so he could pretend he was fine with them dating? He tried to convince them and himself that he is indeed "Fine". How often do you find yourself saying this or doing something similar? That you're "ok" or that you need to just keep "pushing through". I mean, really, we’ve all been there. Lack of motivation resulting in falling behind at work or other important responsibilities: “I’m fine”. Short fuse because you’re overwhelmed: “I’m fine.”

It takes courage and curiosity to begin the therapy process and I admire those who are able to do so. I believe that the psychotherapy process is greatly influenced by the therapeutic relationship. I work to collaboratively create a therapeutic relationship based on mutual respect, trust, and understanding.
