About My Clients

I offer individual, relational, and trauma-informed therapy, supporting clients through grief, anxiety, depression, and women’s health concerns. Whether you’re navigating daily stress, workplace pressures, interpersonal conflict, or unresolved trauma, you deserve compassionate, inclusive care. No matter where you are in your journey, I’m here to walk alongside you.

My Background and Approach

Graduating from Adler University in Chicago with an MA in Counseling Psychology: Art Therapy, I began my clinical work in community mental health—supporting clients in inpatient settings, crisis assessment, and art therapy. Shifting to private practice expanded my focus to interpersonal therapy and individualized care. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Art Therapist, I believe healing happens through authentic connection and creative expression. My approach is deeply collaborative—I see therapy as a shared journey where I'm fully present and equally invested alongside you in each session. Whether through verbal processing or creative expression, my goal is to help you find the methods that resonate most authentically with you. My practice is grounded in several therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Psychodynamic, and Humanistic approaches.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I strive to cultivate a welcoming, grounding environment where you feel safe to explore all aspects of yourself. Every person deserves to feel heard, understood, and truly seen—something that can feel elusive when we're still navigating our own sense of identity and place in the world. Together, we'll work toward helping you develop a stronger sense of self, discover inner peace, and reclaim meaningful control in your life. Through our therapeutic relationship—whether expressed through words, images, or both—you can uncover new insights and create lasting transformation. I'm privileged to accompany clients on their healing journeys and would be honored to explore this path with you.
