Great to meet you!

I believe a strong therapeutic partnership is essential.

My approach to therapy

I am supportive and challenging when necessary as the over all goal is for clients to heal and thrive throughout changes in life, to become the best version of themselves.

What you can expect from me

I earned both my undergraduate and graduate degree from Northern Illinois University. ( Go Huskies!)

I've been fortunate to gain years of experience working in a variety of settings, private practice, community agencies, university and hospitals.

I have worked with clients from ages 5 to 75, applying therapeutic modalities such as ACT, CBT,DBT, Family Systems, Mindfulness , grief therapy and a variety of others to meet clients where they are.
