About me
I firmly believe we are the authors of our own stories. We may not always get to choose the characters or setting, but we have the ability to decide our own directions, and which actions to take in order to achieve our goals. When life throws in a plot twist, we have to decide how to respond. Sometimes, these situations can feel too hard or too much. I am here to listen and help guide you through this. You are living in your life - nobody else is - and your lived experience matters. This also means you must be involved in your growth and healing. We will work together to help facilitate positive changes and move toward the life you imagine for yourself.
As a dedicated psychotherapist, I help individuals facing a variety of struggles, including anxiety, trouble focusing, stress, grief, and relationship conflicts. I am here to listen to your concerns, to work to understand your unique situations, and prepare relevant therapy plans based on collaborative goal setting.
I earned my master’s degree in clinical professional psychology from Roosevelt University. I am married and a mom to three boys and two cats. I also practiced Tae Kwon Do for over 25 years, and taught for over 10, in a program where we believe that a commitment to hard work toward individual growth is essential in becoming the best versions of ourselves.
When we meet, we will get to know each other a little bit and discuss what's on your mind, what challenges you're facing, and what support systems you have. Together we will create realistic goals to work toward, and make a plan to reach them. It's okay to be nervous or unsure about therapy. It's also okay to ask me any questions you have about it, at any time throughout the process!
