When completing my master's in social work at the University of Chicago, I completed a concentration in cognitive behavioral therapy including specialized training in CBT with children and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). I draw on this theoretical foundation to help clients build a toolbox of skills to address whatever challenges they are facing.

I completed a 200-hour yoga teacher certification and a 95-hour children's yoga teacher certification and create resource to support teachers in implementing mindfulness supports in classrooms. I draw from my yoga training to integrate mindfulness into my therapeutic practice in whatever way is most helpful to the client, including guided meditation, breathing activities, and techniques to stay present.

I hold a trauma-informed care certificate from the University of Chicago and have received additional training in a number of therapeutic approaches for children and adolescents who have experienced trauma. The majority of my experience as a therapist is with clients who have experienced complex trauma, including intergenerational trauma, racism, all types of abuse, community violence, sexual violence, and more.

In my work with young people who have experienced trauma, I have encountered so many adults who are burning out trying to support them. Through a trauma certification program and additional training, I have gained significant experience in working with people experiencing compassion fatigue and secondary trauma. In my private practice, I have expanded this to successfully support clients experiencing all types of burnout.

In my work with young people who have experienced trauma, I have encountered so many adults who are burning out trying to support them. Through a trauma certification program and additional training, I have gained expertise that I use in working with people experiencing compassion fatigue and secondary trauma. I have expanded these practices to successfully support clients experiencing all types of burnout.

I work every day with parents looking for support as they confront the stress of parenting. Drawing from my work with thousands of children of all ages, I share evidence-based techniques grounded in developmental theory, brain science, and Conscious Discipline. I aim to create a nonjudgmental space where parents can work on cultivating positive relationships with their children and use challenging behaviors as an opportunity to teach their children lifelong skills.

I specialize in working with people of all ages who are working through complex trauma. This trauma might be ongoing, have occurred in the context of relationships that were supposed to be safe, or be related to intergenerational history and oppression. My first priority is to build safety within the therapeutic relationship so that we can co-create a treatment plan that meets your personal goals and
