Hi! I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Chicago, Illinois, specializing in helping high-achieving professionals and women navigate anxiety, burnout, trauma, and major life transitions. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or burned out despite your success, you’re not alone and you don’t have to navigate it on your own.

With a Doctorate in Organizational Psychology, I bring a unique lens to therapy that integrates both personal and professional well-being. With leadership experience across corporate and nonprofit settings, I understand the pressures of high-demand environments and the impact they can have on mental health. I support clients facing career stress, leadership demands, and complex life transitions, including fertility journeys, pregnancy, and early parenting.

My approach is trauma-informed, holistic, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I work with individuals who are used to “holding it all together” but are ready for a space where they can slow down, process deeply, and reconnect with themselves in a meaningful way.
