I specialize in providing affordable therapy specifically for teachers. Teachers are notoriously burned out, stressed, and they turn over at an alarmingly high rate. We have come a long way in the time and attention we pay to the social and emotional learning of our students. It’s time to do the same with our teachers. With the right support and tools, teachers can be better equipped to have longer, more fulfilling careers and be more effective teachers for their students.

You don’t have to let anxiety, depression, trauma, work-related stress, relationships, or anything else keep you from moving toward your goals and the life you want. We all have different lived experiences, but regardless of your current stage in life, you are worthy of living your life to the fullest. I received my MA in counseling from Northwestern University where I was trained in psychodynamic therapy (a common form of talk therapy). However, I am also a trained Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapist. I specialize in life transitions and know that any change, positive or not, can at times be difficult.

I have over 11 years of experience working with adults, couples, and teens with different diagnosis such as anxiety, depression, motherhood, parenting, grief, childhood trauma, ADHD, college/career stress, bipolar disorder, etc.
My approach to life is eclectic. We can only control the NOW. We can plan for the future and learn to deal with the past. I help my clients (teens, parents (girlmomhere), adults & couples) learn to accept/like or love their current life. No one said life would be easy, but as long as we are breathing, we can learn how to make the best of it. I have an art background, so I use horticultural therapy (plants) and art projects with clients. I also educate clients on fitness and nutrition. I am a problem solver, so we will figure things out together. What, when, why and how?! We can dig into the past, work on now or plan for the future.
