I believe that everyone has their own unique life story to share. When life seems out of control and overwhelming it is very important to have a safe and confidential space to talk with a professional. Anxiety, depression and obsessive thought patterns can feel very isolating and paralyzing at times. The goal is to feel better and talk through these emotions and thoughts in order to cope effectively. It is so important to take care of your whole self and starting with our mental health is the first step to feeling better.

I strongly believe the best things in life aren’t things. In fact, I’d say it’s having peace of mind and the courage to take the first step toward change; making decisions with autonomy and living life from a place of intention and confidence rather than fear and obligation. With the amount of barriers we all face, it’s essential to find someone that will support you in finding that strength within yourself and gently push you to set your limits outside of your comfort zone.

Managing the inevitable challenges and transitions of life can be difficult and overwhelming. At times, it may also feel very isolating. Fortunately, you do not have to cope with these difficulties alone. As a therapist, I believe clients have the resources and strengths within them to make meaningful, lasting changes. I see it as an opportunity and my responsibility to hold a safe, empathic space for you to explore, reflect, develop insight and coping skills, and create the growth you desire in order to live more authentically.

I was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan and recently returned to begin my career as a clinical social worker. I previously worked as a Director of Audience Services for several large not-for-profit theaters in Chicago, where I developed my interest in working closely with individuals and groups. In my free time I enjoy gardening, hiking, and spending time with my dogs. I approach work with each Client from a non-hierarchical perspective: I learn with and through my Clients how best to assist them in reaching their goals.
