Is your anxiety or depression holding you back from living the life you imagine for yourself? Do you feel consumed by negative thoughts or intense emotions? We all feel distressed, helpless and could benefit from some extra support at some point in our lives. Whether it’s your first time in therapy or beginning to work with a new therapist, it can feel overwhelming. I'm here to walk alongside to help you through it. The step you are taking today is often the most difficult part, but I am here for you!

Are you overwhelmed & anxious? Are you experiencing burnout? Are you ready to receive support to work through life’s challenges & learn new skills? I am ready to support you & your goals! I grew up in the Northern Suburbs of Chicago, and I understand the weight expectations and responsibilities can place on children and adults. I am passionate about working with children, teens, young adults, adults, athletes, couples, families & parents who present with a range of struggles such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, performance anxiety, burnout, intimacy issues, & social anxiety.

As a functional therapist, I am passionate about journeying with clients as they return to their authentic Self. The work I focus on in the counseling room is root-cause or “trauma-informed”, meaning together we will discover the moment(s) of harm that are still carried in your mind and body today. When overwhelm, stress, and trauma are unattended to, they can manifest as depression, anxiety, low-self esteem, and emotional dysregulation – even physical pain and disease. Sometimes it’s possible to pin-point the exact moment, while others are struggling to understand what has gotten them to “this place” – and that is okay!

I believe that every person has the right and ability to be happy in life, but that most people face obstacles at some point that makes happiness elusive. I have learned that no one better understands these obstacles and distressing emotions than those who are experiencing them. I, therefore, utilize a client-centered approach in therapy wherein I join the client in order to better appreciate his/her perspective and emotional state. I dedicate myself to my clients and helping them better define where they are in life and where they would like to go in the future.

“We don’t have to do all of it alone. We were never meant to.” - Brene Brown. Sometimes life gets hard, and there are times we are unable to verbalize what we are going through. Other times, we just want to avoid and not feel it all— something that we are not meant to do but we all commonly do.

If you feel depressed, anxious, suffer from low self-esteem, or seem disconnected from your life, it can be hard just to start the day. You might struggle to find motivation in all areas of your life, have difficulty building or enjoying relationships, or have a hard time imagining a brighter future. Depression, anxiety, and trauma make it hard to connect to your strengths and cope with life. I specialize in helping my clients connect with their strengths, develop compassion for themselves, and increase their resilience. Why wait any longer to start your journey to well-being?

I view therapy as a collaborative process, and strive to create a nonjudgemental and empathic space for clients to feel safe exploring their feelings while developing adaptive coping strategies.

Sometimes words don't cut it. Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or seeking a safe space to explore your inner world?

If you're wondering about what this actually looks like, the images on my profile illustrate how art therapy offers a safe space to dive deep. The heart of my practice is believing people are their own experts. You are the ONLY you with your unique values, experiences, routines, heartaches, and desires. I want you to feel seen, foster a deeper understanding of your journey, and find answers and solace through your own innate intuition.
