I value open communication and active listening. I strive to create a supportive, respectful space where you can feel heard, understood, and comfortable sharing your experiences. I believe therapy works best when we build trust and work collaboratively toward your goals.

I offer talk therapy and EMDR. Every client begins with talk therapy, and some choose to continue with this approach. When EMDR may be appropriate, I use clinical judgment and discuss this option with you after we have established a secure therapeutic alliance. Treatment is individualized to your needs, preferences, and goals.

I am trained in EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART).

I strive to create a safe, supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and understood. I work collaboratively with you and want you to feel that therapy is helping you make measurable, meaningful progress toward the goals that matter most to you.

I begin by learning your background, experiences, current concerns, and what you hope to gain from therapy. Together, we identify clear goals and agree on a therapeutic direction, creating an individualized plan. I may use EMDR or ART to address trauma, anxiety, negative self-talk, self-confidence, relationship concerns, and other challenges.

I bring a warm, down-to-earth presence, so sessions feel more like a real conversation than a clinical interview. I specialize in grief and trauma and work with adults, adolescents, and families.

I begin with a thorough assessment of your history, concerns, strengths, supports, and goals. Together, we create an individualized treatment plan with clear goals that we revisit regularly.

My style is eclectic and individualized, drawing from CBT, DBT, ACT, solution-focused, and person-centered approaches. I value meeting clients where they are and building a strong, collaborative, and trusting therapeutic relationship.

In the first session, I provide a relaxed, welcoming space to get to know each other. I explore what brought the client to therapy, current concerns, and goals. Sessions move at a comfortable pace, focusing on building trust, identifying strengths, and creating a foundation for meaningful growth.

I earned my MSW from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and am licensed in IL, IN, and AL. I also hold a Professional Educator License and bring 14 years of experience across schools (K–5), inpatient and outpatient settings, healthcare, and case management.

I integrate modalities such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Strengths-Based and Narrative Therapy, and Motivational Enhancement. My approach emphasizes self-determination, cultural respect, and trauma-informed care, guiding patients toward growth and well-being.

I begin by learning about each client's background, current concerns, and goals for therapy. I may use brief assessments or screening tools to better understand what a client is experiencing. Together, we develop a treatment plan focused on personal strengths and desired changes. I use evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, solution-focused therapy, and strengths-based techniques, regularly checking in on progress and adjusting the plan as needs evolve.

I offer a flexible, collaborative approach and draw from a wide range of therapeutic modalities, including ARC (Attachment, Regulation, and Competency), Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused approaches. I encourage openness and honesty around expectations and values, as this helps guide meaningful and effective treatment. If a particular strategy does not feel helpful, I work with patients to understand why and adjust accordingly. I view patients as the experts on their own experiences. Homework and worksheets are available upon request but are never required.

I focus on building trust by developing goals and treatment plans collaboratively with patients, taking into account lifestyle, aspirations, past experiences with mental health treatment, symptoms, and personal values.

I am committed to helping individuals achieve their goals in creative and practical ways. A key strength of mine is guiding clients to discover their own value system and live authentically. When desired, I can incorporate a spiritual perspective into treatment, always in a compassionate, respectful, and nonjudgmental manner. I believe therapy begins the moment someone reaches out for help. I seek to understand why a client is pursuing therapy, who they are, and what they want their future to look like.

I believe people already carry so much of what they need within them, but sometimes life gets loud, painful, confusing, or overwhelming, and it helps to have someone work alongside you to sort through it with care. My role is to offer a space where you can feel safe enough to be honest, understood, and fully yourself.

I work with adults ages 18 and up who are navigating all kinds of challenges, whether that’s anxiety, depression, relationship stress, family pain, life transitions, burnout, grief, trauma, or simply feeling stuck and unsure of what comes next. I know how important it is to feel genuinely seen—not judged, rushed, or reduced to a problem to solve—and I try to bring that into every session.

My approach is client-centered, strength-based, and solution-focused. I draw from approaches like CBT and DBT, but more than anything, I believe therapy works best when it's real, collaborative, and human. Every person has their own story, their own strengths, and their own way forward, and I deeply respect that.

I care a lot about the people I work with and the relationships we build within the therapy space. I see therapy as a collaborative process—one where we make sense of what hurts, notice what’s getting in the way, and help you move toward a life that feels more grounded, meaningful, and true to who you are. And I genuinely look forward to connecting with you!

My counseling style is rooted in unconditional positive regard, meaning I always approach therapy from a strength-based perspective. I treat my clients with respect, genuine care, compassion, and concern, and I work with them to create goals and find solutions that best suit their needs. I also consider myself a holistic counselor, focusing on the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. As Plato said, 'The part can never be well unless the whole is well.'

My experience spans nearly two decades working with many who struggle to find their way through different life challenges. I will collaborate with you to identify and attain goals. Getting to know you is the first step, and that is achieved through a variety of approaches grounded in family systems, cognitive behavioral therapy, and understanding any types of trauma that may have been experienced. Many have had trauma, and what I have learned is that talking about the details of the trauma is not always helpful. It may be a component of healing, but there may be other ways to make progress.
