About My Clients

Do you constantly have anxious fears of messing things up or not being good enough? Do you obsess over mistakes and spiral into worst case scenarios? Do you feel the need to be in control? What if I told you that you can manage these feelings! I specialize in anxiety and I have found success when working with those in the pressured and demanding sales industry, from the service industry to tech sales and/or those with heightened anxiety/live with OCD. If this resonates with you, let's talk!

My Background and Approach

As someone who has once worked both in the service industry and high volume sales recruiting, I know first hand the stress, pressure, anxiety and fear associated with these careers. I am familiar with the feelings of being overworked and under-appreciated. You can find comfort and trust a therapist who understands those environments and speak the lingo. Because when there is trust, understanding and empathy, relief and results follow. Another area I find passion working with is those who live with OCD. We will create and learn a dozen of skills that you will always have in your back pocket. So no matter where you go, you’ve got what you need. While I am a solution oriented person, I will alway meet you where you are. Some sessions may be filled with tools I’ve learned throughout my training/experiences and some may be just sitting back and processing an event that is triggering you in the moment. Shoot, we may even laugh a little. Could you imagine?!

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am passionately committed to serving our Chicago community. My passion and determination pushes me to continuously educate myself to become a stronger culture advocate and LGBTQ+ affirming therapist. I am also a fierce and vocal advocate to end mental health stigma and continue to increase more awareness around the benefits of therapy and taking care of our mental health. Organizations I am currently supporting: I am an active contributor and supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement and The Trevor Project. Locally, I support Chicago non-profit organizations such as Coffee HipHop and Mental Health, Cara Collective/CleanSlate and My Block, My Hood, My City.
