Life can feel overwhelming at times, especially when trauma, stress, or relationship challenges are involved. I am a trauma-informed, inclusive therapist who helps teens and adults heal and build more balanced lives using evidence-based treatments,
I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Illinois since 2004 and am also licensed to provide therapy in Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia. Additionally, I am registered as a telehealth provider in Florida. I work with teens and adults experiencing concerns such as PTSD, anxiety, depression, OCD, and relationship difficulties. My clinical approach incorporates evidence‐based modalities, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I also integrate complementary techniques such as mindfulness, guided meditation, hypnotherapy, and grounding skills to support emotional regulation and engagement in therapy.
I am an experienced relationship therapist and utilize an attachment‐based, systems‐informed approach, including Integrated Behavioral Couples Therapy. I help individuals and couples improve communication, navigate conflict healthily, and address patterns that contribute to distress, with the goal of fostering more balanced and supportive relationships.
In our initial session, we will focus on understanding your history, clarifying your goals for therapy, and determining whether we are a good fit. Establishing a strong therapeutic relationship is essential, and I encourage clients to seek a therapist who feels aligned with their needs and goals.
