I provide services to individuals and couples using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and offer a Christian Counseling approach to therapy that incorporates biblical principles for Christian living.
Hello, I am a licensed psychotherapist with a Master of Social Work degree with an emphasis in Children and Families from Loyola University of Chicago. As a young professional, mother of 3, and a wife in a blended family, I am well acquainted with the challenges faced by individuals and couples as they begin careers, endeavor to develop friendships, foster long-term relationships, and step into marriage and parenting. I aim to provide a warm and safe space where individuals and couples can feel supported as they explore options, process life's challenges, and find clarity, peace, harmony, and joy in the midst of life's struggles.

Angry, anxious, confused, or depressed because of relationship problems? Feel your partner never listens to you? Keep having the same old fights over and over? Imago Relationship Therapy is very helpful in restoring connection, safety, and romance. As a Certified Imago Therapist I enable each partner to be heard and understood so the needs of each can be met. Usually couples experience some immediate relief from the pain of alienation and begin to rediscover the love that brought them together. If your spouse won't come for counseling, come alone! I also do individual therapy, including EMDR for trauma resolution..

We all want to feel heard, seen and understood. In Therapy, I listen to understand my clients way of processing and explore alternatives together. I've learned that we all have things that we struggle with. We all have certain trigger points that can disrupt our ability to flow and function. When this happens, we may think something is wrong with us but I am here to affirm, there is nothing wrong with you. You're human and you deserve grace! Instead, I believe it’s the environment you find yourself in and how you see the world around you. Let’s work together to understand the origin of your thoughts to re-imagine who you want to be.

While I enjoy working with many different types of people, my ideal client is someone who is open to exploration and can view therapy as a journey and a process, rather than quick fix. I work best with someone who can see me as a support and can partner in uncovering solutions that work best for them, rather than looking to me for total direction. I have helped individuals in successfully transitioning to the next level in their lives, increase motivation and self-esteem to improve relationships and sense of self worth, and have helped individuals establish the identity that they desire.

You’re likely here because life has become overwhelmingly challenging. Sure, you’re surviving (and others may look at you and think you have it all together), but inside you feel sad, angry, ashamed, stuck, and exhausted. You’ve always been the “giver” in your life, and saying “no,” feels like a luxury and beyond your reach. If you're ready to experience a healthier life, I'd like to provide you with a space to start prioritizing yourself and get the support you need to regain a sense of control and peace. Together, we can work through complex relationships, emotions, and uncertainties you're facing in a non-judgmental environment.
