Throughout my career, I've found fulfillment in helping others discover their goals and potential. For the past 12 years, I've had the honor of working with servicemen in the military and their families, and I'm happy to now also serve the public beyond. My treatment approach addresses a variety of conditions including anxiety, depression, addiction, stress, life transitions, trauma, PTSD, divorce, grief, anger management, OCD, and ADHD. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) that I use to reprocess trauma and treat OCD, self-worth, and anxiety. I see children and individuals age 8 through adult.

Welcome! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist located in Northern Illinois. I've been in practice since 2006. I specialize in treating adult individuals and couples who struggle with Anxiety, Self-Esteem, Difficult Life Transitions, and Relationship Distress. I did my pre-licensed practicum work with survivors of childhood sexual abuse. As such, I am able to sit with difficult childhood memories in a way that helps you make sense of the patterns and maladaptive behaviors you may be experiencing in adulthood. I enjoy working with women who struggle with issues related to difficult change, aging and self-esteem.
