Great to meet you!

Do you struggle with prioritizing yourself and your needs? Does your fear of change have you feeling stuck? Are you ready to live a life that feels aligned with your current values and desires despite your past experiences? If you answered yes to any of these questions, know that you are not alone and I can support you wherever you are on your journey. We all have limiting beliefs, past experiences and patterns that may hold us back from being our authentic selves.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is grounded in compassion, non-judgment, and empathy. Through exploring all parts of ourselves, we can begin to cultivate a deeper sense of self awareness, compassion and acceptance. In our sessions, I integrate holistic wellness practices that nurture the alignment of mind, body, and spirit to honor your lived experiences and support you with creating a life where you thrive as the best version of yourself.

What you can expect from our first session

As you consider taking the next step towards your healing and growth, know that you are worthy of living a life that feels authentic and aligned with your values. I look forward to connecting with you and supporting you on your journey.

I am currently providing virtual individual sessions to Illinois residents.
