About My Clients
My primary focus is adolescents and young adults navigating identity issues, anxiety, ADHD, and depression, though I have worked with individuals ranging from age five to their seventies. If you're in a season of life where something feels off, stuck, or hard to name, you're in the right place. I work best with clients who are ready to engage, even if they're unsure where to start. You don't need to have it figured out — you just need to be willing to show up.
My Background and Approach
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with an MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, currently completing the final steps toward LCPC licensure. I work primarily from an ACT framework, integrating CBT and DBT based on what each client needs. I also have specialized training in OCD and trauma-informed care. My approach is conversational and values-driven — I help clients use their own values as a compass to identify where things feel out of alignment and find a path forward. Sessions are warm but direct, engaged rather than passive, and focused on giving you something real to walk away with each week. There is no clear structure to each session, but rather we both operate on what you bring into session each time. The goal is for you, as the client, to feel comfortable to bring up whatever issue you are comfortable enough to discuss and work on.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
At my core, I believe every person has the right to define themselves on their own terms: to live, express, and move through the world in whatever way is authentic to them. That belief doesn't just inform how I think; it shapes how I show up in the room. My role as your counselor is not to bring my own biases through the door. Whatever I carry personally stays outside the session, because this space belongs to you — not my opinions about how your life should look. My work is rooted in a deep respect for human autonomy. You are the expert on your own life, and I am here to support the version of wellness that actually fits you, not a version I've decided is correct. Every person who walks into a session with me deserves to feel that there is no hidden agenda, no quiet judgment, and no pressure to be anything other than exactly who they are. Whoever you are and whatever you're carrying, you can expect a clinician who is wholeheartedly present and sincerely in your corner.
