Reaching out is the first step, I'm glad you're here. My work ranges from treating stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, to other specific personal and relational issues. I am passionate about adolescent neural development, embracing neurodiversity (ADHD, Autism, etc.), body acceptance, attachment theory, and working to break family cycles of trauma. I will work with you to establish goals that are driven by you, for you. I am an active listener who is also willing and ready to offer insight and point out potential problem areas with permission. You will make the change-I can help you see it.

I work from a "empathy above all" perspective and am extremely individualized in my approach with regards to client needs. Therapy is not "one size fits all," and neither is recovery; recovery from trauma, substance use disorder, alcohol use disorder, toxic relationships, disordered eating, and more. These are only a few examples of the issues I am qualified to work with.

I have experience working in treatment, community, group, and correctional settings with adolescents, young adults, and adults. Primary clinical approaches include evidence-based therapies focused on generating behavioral results. I have an in-depth understanding of the mental health issues that arise from incarceration and the stressors associated with navigating the post-incarceration process.

We are a group of clinicians with mental health practitioners with a wealth of experience and knowledge in field. Our professionals are dedicated to supporting clients on their journey to wellness. Our areas of treatment include: trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationships, life transitions, and more. Our services are client centered. We also provide therapy for individuals with limited financial resources through the sliding scale program. We offer free parenting, grief, postpartum, and social skills (Pre K-5th grade) groups

My priority is helping clients understand both their areas of strength and aspects where they have room to grow, and help them to develop their innate capacities to find more calm and fulfillment in their lives. I have a great respect and curiosity for how people's early family experiences affect how they move through the world, as well as how those patterns transcend generations.

You feel stuck. You want aspects of your life to be different, but are unsure how to make that happen. A major life transition within your relationships, parenting, health, or career may have you feeling lost and overwhelmed. Maybe you're at a point where you don't know where to go from here. You’re questioning yourself or your purpose in life. You don’t have to navigate this time in your life alone. Therapy with me offers you a place of support and connection while you explore the challenges you’re facing and work toward your goals.

Do you find yourself struggling with painful and overpowering emotions, hurtful beliefs about yourself, regrets about the past, or difficulty controlling behaviors you want to stop? If so, there is hope. Whether you're seeking support to heal from past traumas, manage overwhelming anxiety and depression, boost your self-esteem, or navigate life's transitions, I am here to guide you. I work to provide a safe, empathetic, and collaborative space. We can explore your experiences, cultivate coping strategies, and work towards building a more resilient and fulfilling future.

Licensed in IL and IA. I often feel lonely in a crowd, even in a crowd of my friends. I often feel like nothing I do will be good enough. When I walk into a room, I often try to avoid eye contact for fear that I will be seen, yet all I really want is for someone to see me. Does this describe you? If so, you are not alone. Lots of people feel this way, especially those who have experienced difficult childhoods. No matter how successful you may appear on the outside, it's hard to shake the "I'm not good enough" feeling.
