About me
You don’t have to stay stuck in survival mode. I help clients understand their emotions, break unhealthy patterns, and build real, lasting resilience. Using a powerful blend of neuroscience, CBT, ACT, somatic therapy, mindfulness, and attachment-based approaches, I’ll help you develop practical tools that actually work in everyday life. Therapy with me is active, compassionate, and focused on helping you feel calmer, stronger, more connected, and fully empowered to create the life you want. Let’s start your transformation together.
Therapy should do more than give you a place to talk—it should help you create real change. I take a practical, brain-based approach that combines compassion with tools you can use immediately in everyday life. Together, we’ll explore patterns that keep you stuck, regulate your nervous system, and build lasting emotional resilience. My goal is to help you feel strong enough that therapy becomes something you outgrow.
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.
