Through my own personal and professional journey, I realized the profound impact that a safe, non-judgmental space can have on a person's life. I became a therapist because I am deeply committed to walking alongside individuals with compassion, respect, and genuine care as they navigate life's challenges, discover their strengths, and move toward meaningful growth and healing.

I work primarily with adolescents and adults. I use a person-centered, empathetic approach to help clients explore how their past experiences may be affecting their current challenges. I am especially passionate about trauma-informed care, empowering my clients, and honoring the diverse experiences, identities, and worldviews they bring to our therapeutic relationship.

I am a pre-licensed counselor and graduated from Clinical Mental Health Counseling at National Louis University. In my practice, I blend a strong educational foundation with a variety of evidence-based approaches so that I can tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of every single client.

When I am not in the office, you can usually find me listening to or directing music, and spending time on or in the water.  I also love spending time with my family, our Savannah cat, and our husky puppy.
