Everything is temporary. This is what makes life so beautiful, but sometimes it can be scary and debilitating. Problematic relationships, trauma, low self-esteem, substance abuse, and anxiety can be the causes and results of other underlying issues. We don’t have to work through it all alone, though. I aim to assist and support you in making the most of life by learning from the past, accessing your best self, and welcoming all that life has to offer.

When a child is struggling with anxiety or low self-esteem, it can feel like a barrier has been built between them and the world. You might notice your middle-schooler withdrawing, struggling to express their feelings, or losing their spark. I believe that every individual deserves a space where they feel truly seen and heard without judgment. Whether I am working with a teen or an adult, my goal is to provide a non-judgmental environment where we can tackle your goals for therapy.

I earned a master's degree in clinical counseling from Northwestern University and pursued counseling because my life experience put me in a unique position to help people overcome difficult circumstances in their lives. Since childhood, I've endured ceaseless adversity that's made it essential to have a safe place to explore my past, present and future. The gift of counseling was the beginning of my healing journey and the first time, in a long time, I'd felt hopeful. After over a decade in corporate America, it became clear that my passion is to provide those who are struggling access to the same opportunity for personal growth.

Do you struggle with stress, self-doubt, and depression that you can't control? Are you looking for change deeper than symptom management? I believe that real change begins with understanding ourselves and the patterns that shape our lives. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where we can explore how your mind works and how to build a life that feels right for you. My clients should expect to be challenged, and I expect them to challenge me back. Mental health is so much more than just reducing symptoms—it’s about connection, balance with emotions, and dignity with our unique minds.

Does it feel like you’re being pulled in a hundred directions? Work, family, finances, and parenting—the things that bring meaning to our lives can also create significant stress. While we can’t always change these pressures, therapy can help you respond to them with greater intention and insight. I work best with clients who want to understand themselves more deeply and are open to reflection and honest conversations.

Life is hard. We have many stressors and can feel overwhelmed. From worrying about getting the bills paid, to concerns for the safety and health of ourselves and loved ones. Experiencing situations currently or in our past that no human being should experience. Feeling grief for the loss of loved ones, relationships, and other situations that bring us joy. This is depressing. Some deal with this culturally. Other’s begin to question and lose their faith as a result. The end result is that we’re left feeling hopeless and powerless. And we’re surviving more than living.

Male Therapists

As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?

There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.

How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?

Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client.

Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?

Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with therapists of a specific gender. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.

Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?

Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
