I help clients understand their emotions, break unhelpful patterns, and build resilience. By integrating neuroscience, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), somatic techniques, mindfulness strategies, and an attachment-based approach, we'll develop practical tools tailored to your unique life. I'm here to guide you toward a more balanced, empowered, and fulfilling future. Let's meet.

I’m not the kind of therapist who just listens quietly—I believe therapy should give you practical tools you can use in your daily life. My hope is that, over time, you’ll feel confident and resilient enough that you no longer need therapy at all. My approach is practical, brain-based, and rooted in compassion, I will help you understand your nervous system, explore where you feel stuck, and build easy-to-use techniques that support you in everyday life.
You don’t have to figure it out by yourself. I’ll sit with you through it, and together we’ll build the steps that help you feel grounded, stronger, and more at ease.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois. I specialize in helping people navigate anxiety, OCD, life transitions, burnout, low self-esteem, and tough emotions like anger. My approach is practical, brain-based, and rooted in compassion.
