Great to meet you!

I graduated with my MSW from Aurora University in 2017, and I’ve continued to deepen my clinical training ever since. I’m trained in a variety of evidence‐based therapeutic approaches—including Gottman, EMDR, ACT, Motivational interviewing, and harm reduction—which allows me to tailor therapy to each person’s needs and goals.

Clients often tell me they appreciate my calm, collaborative style. I value getting to know who you are, understanding what matters most to you, and creating a space where you can explore challenges without judgment. My work is grounded in curiosity, compassion, and the belief that people grow best when they feel safe, supported, and genuinely understood.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic approach is grounded in meeting clients where they are. We begin by exploring your goals, your current coping strategies, and your vision for the future. Together, we develop a plan that moves at a pace that feels right for you.

I use a variety of therapeutic modalities to support your growth, ensuring the work is flexible, responsive, and centered on your needs.

What you can expect from me

Your first session begins with a brief introduction and an opportunity to build connection. I invite you to share what feels comfortable and meaningful, and together we explore your goals and hopes for therapy. This session sets the tone for a supportive, collaborative process tailored to your needs.
