I specialize in treating adolescents, couples, women's issues, anxiety and grief/loss issues. I am trained in family systems theory using a psychodynamic approach for assessments. I have found much success using cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness based treatment models.

Misconception: You only see a counselor when having a full blown crisis. Truth: Daily stress, anxiety, depression, overwhelm, anger, and worry are exhausting. Misconception: You're stuck with no options. Truth: You have the ability to make important changes in your life. Misconception: Everyone should be happy everyday or something is wrong. Truth: Adversity and failure is universal. Without it, we wouldn't recognize happiness. Misconception: It seems like everyone has a better life than me, more exciting, more amazing...more everything. Truth: Not likely.

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.

She is also an Employee Assistance Provider.

If you are feeling disempowered, stressed in your relationships, facing a loss or in the midst of a life transition you have come to the right place. I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in Illinois and Wisconsin practicing as a psychotherapist since 2007. I emphasize a wholistic, strength based approach that helps my clients realize their inner potential and break free from destructive environments and patterns.

We all arrive with a story. Stories shaped by our pasts and with hopes for the future. Our stories contain relationships, triumphs, failures. If you are here, perhaps you are hoping for something different in your next chapter. As your therapist, I will listen to your story nonjudgmentally, holding space for the pains and celebrating the joys. Using supportive and challenging reflection, we will explore obstacles that keep you stuck in a negative story. We will practice authoring change in the safety of the space we’ve created. Like any good story, there will be laughter and tears, and there will be a stronger character at the end.

I would love to see each individual experiencing life at their full potential. I also understand that there are many things that can get in the way of that. I strive to create a safe, comfortable, empowering and creative environment in which my clients can work towards their individual goals. My commitment is to come along side you by providing skills, knowledge, reflection, support, and encouragement.

Life’s chaos and competing needs are hard enough, don’t walk it alone. Rather than feeling alone and overwhelmed, let me help you find space to be heard, seen, and understood. Using my training in Perinatal Mental Health, I enjoy working with women in all life stages. Teens and families also need a space for honest connection and I can help you find avenues through your stuck places. Families that include special needs have unique struggles and often have trouble feeling heard and supported. Let’s build that safe place together.

Hello! I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 12 years of clinical experience helping survivors of abuse and trauma learn to heal and thrive. I also help people who are currently in an abusive or unhealthy relationship, or who recently got out of one, and are having difficulty coping with anxiety, self-doubt, and sadness. Therapy can help you process your experience, learn healthier ways to engage in relationships, and begin living a life that is worthwhile and joyful. I provide a safe, empathetic, supportive environment for you to reconnect with your strength and resilience. You are not alone, and healing is possible.

I work with adults who are struggling with depression and change of life issues (i.e., job loss, divorce, illness), and in particular those who are experiencing grief and loss. I have a great deal of experience working with the aging adult population and the issues that accompany this phase of life. I believe that most issues have an associated spiritual component to them, and if the client wishes to incorporate spirituality into the therapeutic work, I am comfortable doing so. The short term goal of therapy is symptom reduction, while the long-term goal is transformation.

My counseling philosophy is centered around the belief that all individuals eventually find themselves in need of some help to navigate the challenges of life. I have a conviction that positive growth is possible for everyone through a caring client-counselor relationship. I work to help my clients deal with issues such as: adjusting to and embracing life changes, improving personal relationships, finding direction and meaning in life, and managing stress and anxiety.

It is our hope to offer a space for others to explore, grow, learn, and become the person that they would like to be.

My ideal client is struggling with life and doesn't quite know what they need or how to get there. I love to work with teens, young adults, middle age adults, and older adults. I work well with clients who are looking to build a relationship with their therapist that encompasses all emotions from laughter to tears.

Seeking out therapy when feeling overwhelmed or stuck is an act of courage. As a therapist with over 10 years of experience, I am committed to providing a safe space for clients to talk through their roadblocks, life transitions, and adverse experiences. I not only trust my clients are experts of their own lives, but also give them the opportunity to challenge deeply-held beliefs that may no longer help them in their present lives. My areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, pregnancy and postpartum, OCD, and trauma.

Since 2011 I have worked with adolescents, adults, and couples who are experiencing mental health issues related to work, school, life transitions, relationships, identity, addictions, parenting, health issues, grief, trauma, and environment. The therapeutic relationship provides a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential space to work through your concerns, reframe experiences, and move in a direction that honors what is important to you.
