Great to meet you!

I am originally from Chicago. I first obtained my bachelor's in psychology in 2007. I dedicated my time to adolescents and adults after that in outpatient care and counseling. I later obtained my master's in social work in 2013. I have since worked in addiction therapy and community mental health work. Over the past 13 years I've helped people with relational struggles, trauma symptoms, addiction, loving someone with addiction, loss, anxiety and many other distressing experiences.

My approach to therapy

I am an open minded, humanistic therapist. I can provide simple feedback, but I also can assist a person in going deeper into the mind and behaviors. I offer a very interactive therapeutic experience.

What you can expect from me

My clients can expect that sessions will give a sense of clarity, and connection. I provide a caring and nonjudgmental environment, and honor a person's inner experience. I like to leave my clients feeling educated, and free to move forward how they choose. I also provide a very safe and open space for diverse cultural backgrounds and subcultures.
