Life can feel heavy when relationship struggles, work or school pressure, old wounds from childhood, and persistent anxiety or low mood start piling up all at once. You might look like you’re holding things together on the outside, while inside you feel exhausted, stuck, or unsure of yourself. I work with people who want a space where they don’t have to explain or minimize what they’re carrying — a place to slow down, feel understood, and make sense of patterns that no longer serve them. Therapy with me is collaborative, compassionate, and focused on helping you feel more grounded, connected, and confident as you move forward.
I am an LCPC in Illinois with over two decades of counseling experience, including 14 years focused in higher education. I support adults navigating work-life stress, career pressures, and imposter feelings by offering a warm, understanding space to untangle competing demands, reduce overwhelm, and build confidence in themselves and their choices.
Starting therapy can feel intimidating, but it is a powerful step toward prioritizing your health and your future. In our work together, I will listen closely to your unique needs and collaborate with you to build a strong partnership that promotes growth, healing, and meaningful change.
