Great to meet you!

I am licensed in Illinois with 8 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with many issues, aiding those who are struggling with identity (gender, race, nationality, etc.), low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, phase of life issues, career transitions, LGBTQ-related issues, acculturation, and relationship issues.

My approach to therapy

Meeting people where they are at with a judgment-free and authentic approach, I help individuals create room to find new ways to achieve their goals and create insight into the challenges, barriers, and patterns. From feelings of isolation to managing day to day stress, there are times when you need help finding a new lens view life's experiences. Working from a holistic perspective, my goal is to always provide an encouraging, empathetic and affirming environment to explore new perspectives.

What you can expect from me

I strive to always provide an encouraging, empathetic, and affirming environment to help clients explore new perspectives and reach identified goals.

People represent so many individual identities, from gender, culture, ethnicity, geographic location, etc. I strive to engage and assist each individual in exploring how the culmination one's identities within our society may affect how one walks through the world and the lens they use.
