Great to meet you!

Are you feeling overwhelmed by depression, struggling with substance use, or trying to cope with grief or loss? You may feel stuck, emotionally drained, or unsure how to move forward. I work with adults across Illinois who are navigating depression, addiction, and grief. Together, we’ll create a supportive space where you can talk about what you’re going through, regain stability, and start building a path forward with clarity and confidence.

My approach to therapy

My approach is empathetic, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based therapy. I help you see patterns, manage emotions, and develop practical coping skills to reduce depressive symptoms, support recovery, and navigate grief in a way that feels approachable and meaningful.

What you can expect from me

With over 11 years of experience across hospital, inpatient, and outpatient settings, I bring both clinical expertise and real-world understanding to our work. I offer a free 15-minute consultation so you can see if we’re a good fit. I’m here to support you in taking that next step.
