Both personally and professionally, I feel a natural inclination to connect with and help others. I believe that, because nobody’s life is perfect, we all need some extra support at times. This perspective is what keeps me motivated and driven to do the work that I do. With an approach that is trauma-informed, client-centered, and strengths-based, I strive to create a strong therapeutic alliance with my clients. I believe in collaboration and working with clients to identify areas in which they seek change and to learn how to develop and use personal strengths and resources to make positive change possible.

The Human experience is one of searching for meaningful connection and channeling our power to create the life we wish to live. Sometimes in this experience we are met with hardships, past experiences and unseen forces that bog us down along the journey. Training in Integrative Systemic Therapy (IST) at the Family Institute at Northwestern, I recognize and value that these lived human experiences occur in a larger context that varies from one person, couple, or family to the next. My priority in therapy is to approach the therapeutic relationship with empathy, compassion, and curiosity.

Together, we can build a judgement free space to untangle the painful mental and emotional knots in your life. I can support you to find ways to connect anew, to live confidently and authentically, and to get through the hard times.

Shame and stigma can permeate every aspect of our lives and make pleasure, love and work challenging, painful and sometimes impossible. Shame and stigma often mask something special and remarkable about a person; talents, identities, ways of living or loving that are unappreciated, misunderstood and even repudiated. Deviance and difference should not be requisites for pain and failure; those qualities can be empowering and liberating. Often, it is a dominant culture that pulls the veil of shame over our eyes and hearts. Our stories and ourselves are worthy of dignity and care, regardless of what we learn from the dominant discourse.

I work with individuals across the lifespan who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, or just need a new perspective. Utilizing a person-centered approach allows clients to share their story. I want to help provide the space for my clients to process and identify maladaptive ways of coping or thinking to help them live life to the fullest. Change can be scary, especially when dealing with mental health issues. Using a relational approach allows the client to build a relationship with me so that they can feel comfortable and be themselves.

Many people struggle with feeling lost and directionless or anxious about their ability to cope with life on life’s terms. For some people, these feelings can linger and become the painful lens through which you see yourself and the world. But it doesn’t have to be that way. With care and support, you can become more confident and loving toward yourself. You might even wake up one day and realize that instead of needing to read the instructional manual for life, you are ready to write your own. However, you might need some rough drafts and edits first. That is where therapy comes in.
