"You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." I believe this quote perfectly exemplifies my goal working with you as a client. When working with you, my number one priority is to create a safe environment and develop a strong, collaborative relationship. Therapy is a difficult process. However, we can create a safe environment which could ease this difficulty greatly. I utilize evidence-based interventions to help you learn to manage the challenges that life places in front of you and help you realize the strength inside of you to engage those challenges in a healthy manner.

As individuals ponder entering therapy the unspoken question is often: Am I normal? Is what I, my child, my family going through normal? the answer to that question both compels people to come to therapy and also keeps people from walking through the door out of fear of what they may find.

Many of us reach a point where we feel stuck in our lives or our relationships. We realize that what we have done in the past to manage stress, to cope, to heal, to move forward is no longer working the way it used to and we need new strategies. As an individual and family therapist who has worked for 6+ years in two diverse metropolitan areas (New York and Chicago), my work has focused on family relationships, identity exploration, adult and adolescent mental health issues, parenting, social skills, grief, loss, and other life traumas.

Naperville, IL 60563
I specialize in treating Trauma (single event, long-term and attachment) with experiential therapies, including EMDR & Somatic Experiencing. These interventions recognize the need to go beyond changing your thoughts and focus on helping people regulate the body sensations and emotions that continue to be experienced. For example: a person may know that a traumatic event is over and yet continue to feel the emotion of anxiety and the body sensation of muscle tension (never truly relaxing or feeling safe). This can activate an impulse to run away from situations, become angry/defensive or shut down (depressed/ avoidant/dissociative)

I believe it is a true privilege to be able to help others work through some of their most difficult times in life. I see each person as having unique needs, dreams, strengths and challenges, and I know that working collaboratively with a client requires that I first understand and honor who that individual is. People seek therapy for a variety of reasons, and it is often a daunting task to find a therapist who is the right fit. I would love the opportunity to talk with you, so that you may decide if I am the right counselor for you.

I specialize in the treatment of complex trauma, anxiety, and issues of self worth. If you desire more nervous system regulation, confidence in your connections with others, and ability to access joy and peace, we may work well together. My clients often describe working hard to make others happy, frequent anxiety and worrying that they're not enough or not doing enough. If you get lost in thoughts of comparison and are often searching for answers outside of yourself, my way of working will offer you tools to develop more self love, inner peace and a trust in your inner wisdom.

How often do you find yourself saying, "I want to live to my fullest potential and nothing is going to stop me." Now you, more than likely, think "If I can just get through the day, I'm good."

You long for the quality of life you believe you deserve but, often, are not sure what to do next.

Welcome! My therapeutic approach is rooted in the concepts of radical acceptance & self-sovereignty. Anxiety and depression can often rob us of peace & joy. My goal is to provide a safe and affirming space where you can explore your complex inner world with curiosity & compassion rather than fear or judgement. I believe we are all natural storytellers, however sometimes the stories we tell ourselves are not always grounded in reality and can be a source of great pain. Our bodies also store traumatic experiences at a subconscious level and this can have a profound impact on the way we relate to ourselves, others, and the world.
