Hi, I’m so glad you’re here. I am originally from Chicago, and I bring both my lived experience and professional training into the work I do. I attended the University of Michigan Ann Arbor for undergraduate and graduate schools. I have a strong clinical background in mental health, working with individuals across a range of experiences and challenges. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in creating a space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported. I look forward to working with you on your journey.

I am here to meet you where you are at. It is important as your clinician to support you through the highs and lows such as celebrations and when you may be in acute distress; I am here to help stabilize you in the moment. I have experience focusing on providing one-on-one counseling using approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, trauma-informed care, DBT skills, and strengths-based practice.

The initial intake is a foundation-setting session where you and I (as your therapist) start building a working therapeutic relationship. You are invited to share what’s been going on in your life whether it’s stress, anxiety, relationship issues, life transitions, or something else. This is also your chance to ask questions and get a feel for whether you’re comfortable with me as your provider.
