Limited Licensed Psychologist, MSCP, LLP

My working theory is that PTSD develops when a person is wounded—emotionally, psychologically, or physically—by a person, place, or event. Those wounds don’t stay neatly contained. They often show up later as depression, anxiety, or a range of other trauma‑related symptoms. In other words, PTSD isn’t just about the original event; it’s about how that injury continues to echo through a person’s thoughts, emotions, relationships, and sense of safety.

I support individuals (18+) working toward self-discovery and cultivating compassion for all parts of themselves—even the ones that feel hard to face. I enjoy working with folks new to therapy and those returning. I recognize how oppressive systems shape how we see ourselves and how we show up in relationships. I believe deepening self-connection helps us navigate these challenges and build meaningful relationships grounded in our values. I aim to be a collaborative partner in your healing and growth. I value creating a space that reflects what my clients need and find meaningful.

No matter how hard you try to move forward, you feel like your taking one step back. You’re a high performer with perfectionism tendencies and always put on a smile, which helps you forget your pain. You feel you will never be fully happy and never be able to fully enjoy life how others do, because of your many losses, attributing to your decreased self esteem. You may keep friends and family at a distance, to protect yourself from yet another inevitable loss. You may have stopped exercising & taking care of yourself the way you used to, since it takes too much work and you're just surviving at the end of another long day.

Maybe you've been thinking of trying therapy for a while, or have almost given up that it could work for you. I'd love to help you see the beauty in accepting that, as in life, it’s okay to not "get it right" the first time. I enjoy reactivating hope in people to see the potential in themselves and in others. You don't have to try making changes on your own.

You have felt stuck, scared, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself for too long. It might feel like no matter how hard you try, anxiety, self-doubt, or old patterns keep showing up. You may find yourself struggling to manage emotions, navigate relationships, let go of the past, or feel confident in who you are. Whether you’re coping with life transitions, burnout, trauma, or relationship struggles, it can feel exhausting to keep it all together on your own.

I have two Master's degrees in counseling and 30+ yrs experience. I practice in Illinois and Michigan. I'm a trauma-sensitive psychotherapist, EMDRIA-certified in using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) through telehealth. EMDR is an exciting approach to trauma response that can often very quickly and successfully help resolve immediate trauma and clear long-term emotional blocks. I enjoy seeing individuals (including therapists) who are working on resolving complex trauma and couples who are dealing with high conflict/unresolved conflict. I maintain a small, specialized practice in these areas.

My practice encompasses those navigating ADHD, AuDHD, depression, anxiety, and trauma. I work with people facing life transitions and relationship challenges—new parenthood, non-traditional partnership structures, family conflicts, and stress of the psycho-emotional toll imposed on us by colonial and capitalist pressures. We’re often conditioned to internalize systemic issues as personal failings, leading to self-blame and doubt. I’m here as both a grounding presence and resource connector. Together, we’ll reclaim your narrative, question harmful conditioning, and unlock clarity, empowering you to adapt and live a life more at ease.
