First Things First
What do you need in this moment? When you work with me, you’ll find a patient and understanding therapist who meets you right where you are, guiding you through the tough questions and challenges life throws your way. Clients often tell me they appreciate my openness and the safe space I create for them to be vulnerable and grow. I focus on building trust and connection so you feel genuinely supported.
What To Expect From Our Work Together
In our sessions, I’m all about patience and openness, creating room for vulnerability and honest feedback. Together, we can set clear goals for long-term success. I am a bubbly and positive person so that will come out in our sessions and I commit to meeting you where you are. If you’re having a bad day or tough thoughts, let’s talk about it. I’ll never force you to change a negative thought into a positive thought, unless that feels helpful, and I am open to feedback to ensure you’re feeling safe in every session.
Using a blend of techniques like ACT, DBT, and trauma-informed CBT that best fits you, I can help you find coping skills for managing distress, regulate your emotions, and create a space where you feel heard and understood.
What You Need to Know About Me
I am an avid reader, career changer, sunshine lover, and dog-enthusiast! I can be your go-to to discuss the latest crime podcast you listened to, movie or TV show you watched and loved (or hated), or the latest dish in the Bravo or Bachelor world. I’ve lived in the Chicagoland area for 14+ years and love supporting local artists, restaurants, and coffee shops.
I always knew I wanted to work with people so I received my Bachelor’s degree from DePaul University in Advertising convinced I would be an Advertising Executive for life. As I learned corporate America wasn’t for me, I decided to get my Master’s degree at the Chicago School of Professional Psychology in Counseling Psychology. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and I have experience working at a university conducting career counseling, at a children’s hospital in their inpatient psychiatric unit, in residential and partial hospitalization programs working with adults with eating disorders, and now with individuals and couples.
