Great to meet you!

My clients have described me as compassionate and easy to talk to. My goal as a therapist is to equip my clients with effective tools to take on life's challenges.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and earned my Master's degree at DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois. I have eight years of experience working with adults, youth, and couples to manage concerns related to depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship conflicts, mood disorders, phase of life concerns, and behavioral problems.

My approach to therapy

Utilizing an integrative and collaborative approach, I work as a guide to support my clients in navigating challenges and reaching their goals. I believe that our background, sexual orientation, gender identity, race, religious beliefs, and trauma history tell a unique story about who we are.

What you can expect from me

It is important to me to consider my client's lived experience in the therapeutic process. I pride myself on providing a non-judgemental, safe space for clients to express themselves. It is my joy to support my clients in gaining self-awareness, navigating their relationships, improving their mood, processing their past experiences, and reaching their optimal potential.
