My website
I support children, adolescents, and emerging adults navigating anxiety, mood disorders, and neurodivergence. My clinical foundation was built in the inpatient psychiatric unit at Lurie Children’s Hospital, where I worked with diverse backgrounds and acute mental health challenges. Many of my clients come to therapy dealing with performance pressure, burnout, or the complexities of life transitions. I help them move forward by viewing each person within their broader family and social systems while providing a collaborative, client-led environment. My goal is to turn overwhelming challenges into manageable steps for lasting growth.
As a former Division I athlete, I specialize in the mental/emotional demands of competition and high-stakes environments. I integrate Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with practical skills from CBT & DBT. This allows us to balance the investigation of your story with concrete tools for emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
Therapy is a partnership built on genuine support and cultural awareness. Whether you are a student managing pressure or a parent seeking help for your child, I am here to help you understand your thoughts and build resilience. I invite you to reach out to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see how we can work together toward your goals.
