About me
As a licensed therapist in Illinois with over two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life transitions, emotional challenges, and personal growth. My practice centers on helping clients explore deeper meanings, overcome feelings of guilt and shame, and develop resilience through significant life changes.
I have a compassionate, affirming approach that particularly supports LGBTQ+ individuals, women experiencing workplace or personal challenges, and those working through midlife transitions. My therapeutic style creates a non-judgmental space where clients can authentically explore their experiences, heal from past wounds, and rediscover their sense of purpose.
My expertise spans addressing depression, anxiety, family dynamics, and the nuanced emotional landscapes of personal transformation. I believe in empowering clients to develop meaningful coping strategies, embrace self-forgiveness, and cultivate inner strength through collaborative, personalized therapeutic work.
