I believe everyone needs and deserves a safe space to address barriers preventing them from navigating through life the way they desire, thus I seek to foster safe and comfortable environments for those oppressed and marginalized. Living in unprecedented times, it is especially important to have support, awareness, and knowledge of effective coping skills to manage life's stressors. I believe it’s also important to process the lives we’ve already experienced and explore how this cultivates our current worldview.
Utilizing Psychodynamic Therapy, Person- Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy I’ve developed an eclectic approach to therapy because no individual is like another. You are, however, the expert on you and I hope to serve as a guide in assisting you to reach your health and wellness goals.
I have experience working with adults, couples, and families. I also have extensive experience working with those suffering from anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and complex trauma. To accommodate clients’ schedules, I offer in person and telehealth sessions during daytime and evening hours in the Glen Ellyn and Naperville offices.
