Life can present challenges that feel overwhelming, and even the strongest individuals sometimes need support to navigate through them. Whatever challenges or issues you are facing, there is hope for a brighter tomorrow.
Hi, I’m so happy you’ve found your way here! As a licensed therapist with 10+ years of social service experience, I’m dedicated to providing a warm, welcoming space where you can feel safe to explore whatever you’re facing. I believe in the power of connection and the importance of being sensitive to each person’s unique story, culture, and background.
Life is complex, and we all experience it differently. That’s why I take time to truly understand your values, experiences, and personal identity. I’m mindful of the diversity of each client’s life and work to create a therapy experience that feels right for you. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, relationship issues, or life transitions, I draw from approaches like CBT, DBT or SBBT to meet your needs in a way that’s both effective and respectful of who you are.
I’m here to support you through:
Managing stress and anxiety
Building self-confidence and self-worth
Healing from trauma
Improving relationships
Navigating life changes
I earned my social work degree from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, and I’m licensed as a Clinical Social Worker in Illinois and Missouri. Over the years, I’ve deepened my understanding of how diverse life experiences shape our emotional well-being, and I approach therapy with an open heart and mind, respecting your individual journey.
When I’m not in session, I enjoy hanging out with friends, skating, karaoke and kayaking. My favorite unwind activity is adult coloring books. I believe in the importance of self-care and balance.
No matter what brings you to therapy, I’m here to listen without judgment and work with you to create meaningful change, one step at a time. Life is full of diversity, and I embrace the beauty of that both personally and professionally. Reach out, and let’s see how we can work together to help you find more peace, balance, and fulfillment in your life.
