I believe in the power of human connection and draw from a framework that incorporates the mind-body connection as a foundation to my therapeutic approach. I am dedicated to meeting you where you are in your journey and guiding you towards a more balanced, empowered, and fulfilled life. Through creating a safe space for your personal exploration and growth, my hope is that you will gain insight into what is already present within you and believe you already possess everything you will need as you learn to flourish.
I received my Master’s degree in Counseling from DePaul University. I have training in evidence-based treatment modalities and use a holistic bio-psycho-social and strengths-based approach to counseling. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) and continue to be passionate about providing a safe, supportive space for true healing and transformation. Additionally, I have completed training in Perinatal Mental Health with Postpartum Support International (PSI).
In addition to traditional therapy, I have experience implementing alternative therapies. I have worked with the Improv for Anxiety program at Second City Chicago and helped develop therapeutic improvisation models for group therapy in multiple settings. I regard humor as a light towards truth with the transformative and healing effects of laughter.
I enjoy coming home to nature as well as the process of creating. I am a supporter of the arts be it comedy, music, classics, dance, or other mediums. In my spare time you might find me reading, writing, singing, or taking walks through nature.
I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and committed to multicultural competence, social advocacy, and service.
