About me

As a licensed therapist in Illinois with three decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on compassionate, holistic care that addresses a wide range of life challenges—from stress and anxiety to grief, self-esteem concerns, and interpersonal dynamics.

I offer a deeply understanding and inclusive therapeutic space that welcomes diverse experiences and perspectives. Whether you're navigating personal transitions, relationship challenges, workplace stress, or emotional healing, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy and professional expertise.

My practice integrates evidence-based strategies to help clients develop resilience, self-understanding, and meaningful personal growth. I'm particularly passionate about supporting individuals through life transitions, addressing attachment patterns, and empowering clients to cultivate self-love and authentic connection.

I understand that seeking support takes courage, and I'm dedicated to creating a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can explore your experiences, strengths, and potential for transformation.
