I see counseling as a space where we can collaborate towards your goals for therapy- whether that’s processing current challenges, recovering from past trauma, or exploring your future. I received my Master’s Degree in Social Work from Dominican University and for the past decade I have continued to discover new methods to assist my clients.

I enjoy helping those on a journey toward better self-awareness around their emotional life, satisfaction in relationships, and getting through what seems stuck. Counseling is a place to feel safe to explore difficult relationships or past or current trauma. I want my clients to feel advocated for, and to find a deeper understanding of self and gain insight into how our past affects present relationships and struggles. Finding your true-self is so important. Skill building and assertiveness training are also a part of the therapy I do. My experience for the last 22 years has been in individual therapy with kids, teens, and adults.
