I treat individuals 14+, couples, and families in CA and IL.
Navigating mental and emotional struggles alone can be exhausting. I am so glad you are here. My rigorous training has led to a focus on helping clients recover from attachment insecurity, self-esteem issues, perfectionism, stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. In sessions, we will collaborate to identify the root of the issue causing you pain, using a personalized and culturally-informed approach. We will then collaborate on a concrete treatment plan to meet your goals in a way that promotes sustainable change and long-term healing.

I work with all age groups, but I have a real passion for working with couples and families.
I know that we are living in unique and challenging times. It can sometimes be difficult to navigate the life stressors that come our way, especially when those stressors lead to disruptions in our ability to cope and function the way we wish to. I understand the importance we place on developing and maintaining strong and supportive interpersonal relationships with our families, our children, our partners, and our communities. I also am a strong believer in the need to have a therapist who can listen, support, and offer you real tools to manage stressors and mental health issues.

As an Emotionally Focused Therapist, I use the most effective form of couples therapy to help you make positive changes in your relationship.
Are you and your partner finding yourselves in a repetitive cycle of conflict, feeling increasingly disconnected, frustrated, and alone? You’re longing for better communication, increased trust, and a deeper connection, though you’re at a loss over how to get there. You keep dancing the same dance, but you’re more than ready to change the tempo. I get it. And I’m here to tell you that there is help (and hope) for your relationship.

With the use to CBT, DBT, perspective taking and the therapeutic relationship I help my clients learn skills to manage and reduce symptoms they are struggling with.
Accepting new clients. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist who specializes in working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, and trauma that leads to difficulties with regulating emotions. I support clients who experience overwhelming anxiety that leads to behaviors like shutting down, self injurious behaviors and withdrawal from social situations. The clients I work with are willing to unpack childhood and the unconscious to increase self awareness and help them make sense of their current behaviors. I also work with couples who struggle with communication that leads to discontentment in their relationships.

A new counseling relationship can be anxiety provoking.
Professionals, leaders, high-achieving individuals: Do you project a persona of being on top of everything and having it all together? Do you feel that secretly, the pressure, pace and responsibilities are taking a toll on you? You may have managed to harness the power of your high intelligence, potential, intensity, and drive— but you might also be struggling with loneliness, depression, anxiety, perfectionism, or feel that you are “too much." If you relate to this, I welcome your call. I offer a safe, professional working relationship for you to sort through it all.

You do not have to go through life challenges alone. People come to see me for a number of reasons. Maybe you are seeking help for anxiety or depression or maybe you are going through a difficult event, like the death of a loved one, a break-up, or health issues. Maybe you hope to have healthier and more satisfying relationships. Maybe you are haunted by experiences stemming from childhood or the more recent past. We all are seeking a better life, a pathway to some change, and a greater sense of peace or confidence. Therapy is a great place to work toward these goals.
