As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a master’s degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago, I’ve dedicated my career to walking alongside people in some of life’s hardest seasons. My background includes years of providing clinical recommendations for children and families in the Illinois child welfare system—but my heart is in creating a safe, authentic space where people can be real, vulnerable, and heard. Most clients appreciate the lightness, hope, and humor I bring into difficult moments. I believe therapy doesn’t always have to feel heavy—it can also be a place of relief, reflection, and even laughter.
Healing isn’t a straight line, but it’s a journey we take together. In our sessions, we may smile, cry, laugh, or sit in silence—but always with the goal of growth, healing, and moving forward. My style is real, down-to-earth, and rooted in compassion. I help you recognize your strengths, make choices that align with your values, and celebrate victories.
Outside of therapy, I love traveling (recent adventures include Mexico and Jamaica), spending time with loved ones, and exploring new foods as I continue my pescatarian journey. Originally from the South Side of Chicago, I carry that same realness, grit, and heart into my work. My passion and mission are simple: to create a space where healing feels possible
