I am an IL LCSW and certified clinical trauma professional who believes balanced mental wellness is important in every aspect of our lives. I approach treatment with empathy, authenticity, and honesty. My approach to therapy is the development of a strong trusting relationship where we can explore ways of achieving your mental health goals.
I provide many different treatment modalities, which include DBT, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and EMDR. It will be my goal to work with you to determine which modalities best fit your needs to reach your mental health goals.
I believe that healing starts, proceeds, and ends with a strong therapeutic alliance between client and therapist. I have a client-centered, trauma-informed approach to ensure that the space we hold and the time invested are judgment-free and full of support.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
