Great to meet you!

I bring experience working with children, adolescents, and adults across school, community, and hospital settings. With a Master’s degree from Dominican University and a Bachelor’s degree from Northeastern Illinois University, I am bilingual and bicultural. Throughout my career, I’ve supported individuals beginning at age 3 through adulthood, meeting each person with warmth, understanding, and compassion.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is open-minded, collaborative, and focused on understanding different perspectives and how they may influence relationships. I use strengths-based and solution-focused approaches to help clients recognize their existing strengths, identify meaningful goals, and explore practical strategies for creating positive change.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect a collaborative approach that meets them where they are and respects their individual needs and treatment preferences. I believe that taking the time to get to know one another is an important part of building a trusting and effective therapeutic relationship.
