Accepting new clients! I offer in-person sessions at our Cicero office and telehealth services to accommodate your preferences. I am a trauma-informed art therapist and mental health counselor dedicated to supporting you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery. I believe therapy is a collaborative process, and I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences and work toward meaningful change. A place where you can feel safe, empowered and find yourself. Let's explore your inner world.

My approach is eclectic, integrating Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and art therapy, tailored to meet your unique needs. Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, other mental health issues or seeking personal growth, I'm here to walk alongside you.

Taking the first step toward therapy can be challenging and it's hard to seek support, be proud of yourself. Let's connect for a free 15-minute consultation and see how I can help you on your journey. - Please leave a message if you call - we are not able to answer a lot of the times as we are a small practice. Thank you for understanding.
