“To change your life, you have to change your life.” Your current circumstances do not have to dictate your ultimate outcome. Regardless of the challenges you're facing in your life right now, you always have the power to determine your path forward. Life comes with challenges and we all have been faced with difficult situations. However, these circumstances don’t have to define us or determine our destiny. While we may not always have control over what happens to us, we do have control over how we choose to respond.

Whether you are dealing with stressful life changes, relationship conflict, cycles of anxiety and depression, or just need someone to help process all of life's complicated emotions, I am here to help. I believe a person grows best when given authenticity and encouraged to be as their authentic selves. Emotional disconnection from oneself can cause difficulty coping which often lead them to unhealthy coping skills in an attempt to relieve pain. Therapy is not just solving those immediate problems, but working to create lifelong stability through coping skills and tools.

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.

As stated by Brené Brown "Many of us are willing to extend a helping hand, but we're very reluctant to reach out for help when we need it ourselves". I've heard many people echo these same thoughts in regards to their mental health. When we try not to "burden" others, or are fearful of seeming "weak", or ignore our feelings it can become unbearable and lead us to feeling stuck. Everyone can use a helping hand at times, and therapy can be used as a safe place to figure out your next step.
