About me
I am a licensed mental health clinician in the state of Illinois with over 20 years of professional experience providing evidence-based care to adults, adolescents, and families. I have extensive experience treating stress-related concerns, anxiety disorders, mood disorders including bipolar disorder and depression, relationship and interpersonal difficulties, and parenting-related challenges.
My clinical approach emphasizes the development of a therapeutic alliance grounded in trust, safety, and collaboration. I strive to create a structured, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment in which clients can openly explore thoughts, emotions, and behavioral patterns. Treatment is individualized and informed by each client’s unique strengths, goals, and clinical needs.
Seeking mental health treatment is a significant and often challenging decision. I recognize the courage it takes to engage in this process and am committed to providing consistent, ethical, and compassionate care to support clients in improving emotional regulation, increasing insight, and fostering meaningful and sustainable change.
