You will be met with authenticity, empathy, and absolutely no judgment.

I am a Psychotherapist originally from Chicago and have been practicing for 18 years.

At any age or stage in life, difficulties along the way can cause positive parts of ourselves to get a little buried, blocked, or hidden. Using your own creative process, I aim to help you reconnect with the parts of yourself that are courageous, caring, compassionate, curious, confident, calm, and connected. This process can be done individually, with couples, and in family sessions.

How on earth do you choose a great therapist? Seriously, I mean...look at the hundreds of wonderful therapists on this site! Picking a therapist can be intimidating, but don't let it daunt you! Studies continually show that, for therapy to be "successful," there needs to be a strong relationship between you and your therapist. That's it. Really. Skill and competency are important-yes-but a therapist's expertise won't shine through if you don't trust them.

Whether you are struggling with trauma, difficult relationships, or general dissatisfaction, therapy can help you learn to respond to challenges more productively and with improved flexibility. Looking at one's behaviors and relationships is challenging, but sharing that exploration with a compassionate person can be transformational. My goal is to create a non-judgmental, supportive environment where we can look at your past and present to understand why you might be responding to life in ways that are less than satisfying. We can then focus on how you can pursue your goals, have more intimacy, and feel more vital.

Immediate availability! Life, especially these days, can seem overwhelming and take a toll on mental and physical health. Outwardly, many of us present ourselves as being okay, but inside, there can be pain and inexplicable sorrow. Fear of change - even positive change - may instill feelings of anxiety, depression, vulnerability and helplessness. I work with teens, adults and couples struggling with trauma, addictions, anger, codependency, disorders and disabilities. Digging deep into emotions can seem daunting; however, looking inward to discover how past experiences contribute to our current state of being can be enlightening.

I have a strong background in business, people leadership, and process improvement that I have effectively utilized in my current role as a counselor.

I can teach tools for couples to improve communication and resolve conflicts. As an ally, I am committed to supporting and working with not only our LGBTQ community but also their families.

My predominant theoretical model is solution focused. It is a very respectful form of therapy, and respects each client's cultural beliefs, religious beliefs, and personal journey. One of the things I love most about my role, is witnessing other's journey, and helping them move through struggles and life challenges.

Are you feeling disconnected from your loved ones, family, and friends? Are you the caregiver of a child struggling at home, school, or in relationships? Depression, anxiety, trauma, unexpected life changes, and stress can lead us to feel isolated and hopeless. Without connection, it can be difficult to confront all of life's challenges. Finding a therapist to share these feelings & thoughts with can be the beginning of living a more peaceful life. No one deserves to suffer alone!
