About My Clients
I help adults navigating life transitions, anxiety, burnout, or feeling stuck. My approach is person-centered and practical, drawing from CBT and DBT. I offer a supportive space to process challenges and provide tools like handouts and exercises to support growth between sessions. We’ll move at your pace—together.
My Background and Approach
I believe therapy starts with meeting you where you are—whether we need to “sit in the suck” for a bit or begin building toward change right away. Our work is collaborative: I’m here as your partner, not your lecturer. With humble beginnings in healthcare as a CNA at age 17, I’ve built a career rooted in compassion, curiosity, and respect for every person’s journey. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Aurora University in 2016 and hold clinical licenses in both Illinois and Texas. Over the years, I’ve worked in mental health case management, hospice, intensive outpatient programs, psychiatric intake and review.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe in creating a therapy space that welcomes all identities, stories, and paths. As someone who came into this field through direct caregiving work, I hold deep respect for people’s lived experiences and the resilience that often goes unseen. I'm a supporter of LGBTQ+ rights, racial justice, and mental health accessibility for underserved communities. I’m committed to ongoing learning, unlearning, and practicing cultural humility. Outside of sessions, I stay grounded through time with animals, books, and quiet reflection. Therapy with me isn't about perfection—it's about showing up, being real, and finding meaning, even in the mess.
