Life can come with a lot of curveballs some that we can handle others can be more difficult. Life can start to become a rollercoaster that never ends. Having that one person you can speak to about life without judgement can help alleviate some of those curveballs. As a pre-licensed professional my purpose is to meet others where they are and help them discover themselves without feeling restricted. While helping them heal from their past. I am trained in numerous forms of therapy, including motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and person-centered therapy.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with a passion for the strength of the human spirit and the resiliency that can accompany it. It is my personal and clinical position that we all possess the innate power and strength to rise above the challenges we as human beings face. Everyone is unique in their own way, and it is my belief that the therapeutic process should be tailored to reflect that. A positive, open and nonjudgmental working-relationship is at the core of the healing journey. I am drawn to the power of EMDR, CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing and Exposure Prevention Therapy all from a trauma-informed lens.

In life we all need hope, validation, just to know that today, "this too shall pass." I strive to connect with individuals with honesty, warmth, and empathy. When one makes that decision to seek emotional guidance, I understand the vulnerability and the bravery of that moment. While allowing one to take the time they need to reach their desires of the heart and/or identify what one desires through a space of compassion and mindfulness.

Adversity and struggle are situations that are common. The goal to avoid both would be ideal but that is not reality. Peace and calmness in the mist of adversity and struggle is a possible reality and what we will strive to help you achieve. My approach is client centered and you are the expert of your life. Together we will take a nonjudgemental look at what is going on in your life, what is working for you and what is not. In a safe environment we will help you put together a game plan allowing you to see what you need to change in order to get to where you see yourself and where you want to be.

I have a non-judgmental, compassionate, supportive, and reflective style. My aim is to help you figure the path that’s right for you to begin the process of change.

My primary focus is building a genuine connection and individualizing my approach to each person’s specific needs. I have always believed that it is important to celebrate small and big wins in life. I work hard to meet clients where they are at and together, work to develop goals for best outcomes.

I enjoy working with all ages, especially those who identify as neurodivergent, those with disabilities, anxiety, depression and trauma.

I am currently accepting new patients. I believe that asking for help can be difficult and that coming to therapy is not always an easy thing to do. I try to always keep this in mind and to meet people where they are at.

Therapy is a way to gain better insight into your feelings, thoughts, and experiences. Please call or email for a session. Thank you.

It takes courage to seek support and make changes - and you took a big step getting here.

Exploring and learning about yourself can be an empowering experience, and I appreciate you letting me into your life to help with this process. I look forward to hearing your story and working together towards your treatment goals.

My ideal patient is someone who is seeking change in their lives, even if it means that doing things differently may be difficult at first. They are not afraid to "go there" no matter how hard the work may be. They are open to looking at what their barriers to change may be, as well as the ability to identify their strengths and have the motivation to work towards their best personal self. They want a therapist that is honest and direct, but yet compassionate and supportive, acting as one of their strongest cheerleaders. In essence, they want to live their best possible life that they deserve to live.

I am a social worker that does community activism. Many times people have problems because of the injustices built into our system. In my work in therapy I can help people to identify issues in their lives and give them skills to deal with situations they find themselves in. I want to remove stigma from mental health treatment by offering it to everyone. I am committed to treating people with every day issues that may negatively impact their lives so that they can move forward to have happy and successful lives. I want to listen to people and help them develop the skills they need.

Whether its emotional, legal, behavioral or medical issues burdening us we all can find ourselves in a situation where we need help. When that happens having an experienced professional on your side can lead to improved results. My practice offers skilled care based on values and delivered without judgement and all in a private home-like office in Forest Park.

We are wired to flourish in connection, authenticity, mutual empathy, and mutual empowerment. Seeking help and beginning your transformational journey requires you to be vulnerable. We will work together to create a safe non-judgmental space for you to explore what has brought you to therapy, and identify what you would like to change through our work together.

Being a mom is hard enough without extra struggles like ADHD, anxiety, and constant feelings of overwhelm. You do so much for your family - are you also taking time to care for yourself? As a working mom of 3, I totally get it. The constant juggling of work, home, kids can be exhausting! On top of that, having an overwhelmed mind, trouble focusing, guilt, painful memories - it can feel impossible to find peace. But you deserve to feel confident and capable, not just for your family, but for YOU.
