You’re trying your best—but it still feels like too much. Maybe you’re overwhelmed by school, friendships, family pressure, or just trying to figure out who you are and where you fit. Some days you feel anxious or down for no clear reason. Other days, you’re just tired of pretending you’re okay. If you’re feeling stuck, burnt out, or like no one really gets it—therapy can be a space where you don’t have to hold it all alone.

I work with teens (11+), adults, couples, and families who are ready to make changes—even if they’re not sure where to begin. My clients often describe feeling scattered, stuck in their own heads, or weighed down by anxiety, depression, trauma, or low self-esteem. I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space to unpack what’s going on and figure out what healing looks like for you.

Clients describe me as easy to talk to, supportive, and curious. I take a collaborative, down-to-earth approach to therapy, offering tools and insight without pressure or judgment. I use evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and person-centered therapy to help you understand what’s holding you back and how to move toward the life you want.

My background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Human Services and a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, both from National Louis University in Chicago, IL. I’ve worked primarily in nonprofit settings, serving a diverse range of clients across all ages and life stages—and I’ve learned how important it is to meet people exactly where they are.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel intimidating—but it’s also a powerful act of self-care. If you’re ready to begin, I offer a free 15-minute consultation so you can get a feel for what it might be like to work together.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming—but it’s a courageous step forward. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation so we can explore whether working together feels like the right fit for you.

You may look like you’re holding it all together—but inside, you’re tired, overstimulated, or disconnected from yourself. Maybe you’re carrying a lot of responsibility, caring for everyone else, or trying to lead, create, and grow… while quietly running on empty. You want more than survival. You want to feel grounded, emotionally steady, and connected to who you really are.

I work with adults and groups who are seeking deeper balance, emotional resilience, and a more grounded relationship with themselves. Many of the people I support are helpers, leaders, creatives, and “strong ones” who are used to pushing through stress but are ready to slow down, reconnect inward, and build a more sustainable way of living.

My approach is holistic, calming, and deeply relational. Clients often describe my presence as grounding and nurturing. I believe healing happens when the nervous system feels safe, the body is included in the process, and your inner wisdom is honored. In our work together, we focus on emotional regulation, mindfulness, self-awareness, and practical tools that support both inner healing and real-life change.

I bring over 20 years of experience in the wellness and healing arts, including sound therapy, mindfulness, leadership development, and therapeutic coaching. I am currently completing my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at National Louis University to further integrate clinical depth with holistic care. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology from Columbia College.

My background includes facilitating individual and group sound therapy sessions, leading women’s healing retreats, and building community-centered wellness programs. I am a Certified Sound Therapist and a Tantric and Yoga Nidra Instructor, and I have spent many years creating spaces that support emotional safety, reflection, and restoration.

Beginning this kind of work is a powerful act of self-care. If you’re feeling called to slow down, reconnect, and tend to your emotional well-being in a deeper way, I invite you to reach out. I offer a free 15-minute consultation to help you explore whether this feels like the right fit. 

Starting therapy can feel vulnerable—but it’s also a brave step toward caring for yourself. If you’re curious about working together, I offer a free 15-minute consultation to help you decide if this feels like the right fit.
