About

Hi there!
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the state of IL with 10 years+ of experience in the mental health field. I have worked in a variety of settings including hospitals, residential treatment facilities, nonprofit organizations and in crisis centers. I specialize in mood and anxiety disorders in adults and adolescents, and have additional experience working as a sexual assault and domestic violence advocate, as well as a case manager within the foster care system. Currently I am one of the directors at a behavioral health hospital and conduct thorough mental health assessments on adults and adolescents who are struggling with a variety of issues including: suicidal ideations, self-harming behaviors, severe anxiety, dysfunctional family dynamics, trauma and mood dysregulation.

I strongly value the therapeutic relationship and strive to build a trustworthy bond between myself and all of my clients. I come from a person-centered and solution-focused approach, allowing my clients to navigate their therapeutic experience while remaining supportive.
My goal is to make you look forward to coming to therapy each week. I want your experience to be fun, cathartic and, most importantly, beneficial to improving your quality of life.
