About My Clients
I help people learn to forgive themselves for not being 'perfect' through eclectic evidence based modalities while also incorporating psychoeducation and lived experience – learning to give yourself the grace you deserve as well as increasing the ease with which you healthily cope with the stressors of life; To learn to create a space for yourself and gain a sense of self acceptance and self actualization.
My Background and Approach
My clinical expertise fosters the therapeutic relationship as well as self-forgiveness. Therapy that fosters collaborative, supportive, and compassionate care. I’ve been fortunate to work with a diverse and high-need population with unique backgrounds and barriers, and I know I’m able to meet clients where they want to be met. I have a Masters of Social Work (MSW) with a specialization in mental health as well as a Masters (MA) in women’s studies and gender studies both from Loyola University Chicago. My undergraduate degree is in psychology with a minor in sociology from the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). I believe firmly in the power of connection within healing.

Why I am a Good Fit for You
I engage with you conversationally to create movement and change towards a healthy outcome through a relational and humanistic approach. Therapy should be a non-judgmental trauma-informed space to work together on life’s impacts. I believe firmly in the power of connection within healing.
