About me

As a licensed therapist in Illinois, I bring over two decades of compassionate clinical experience supporting individuals through complex life challenges. My practice specializes in addressing depression, anxiety, stress management, and life transitions with a deep commitment to understanding each client's unique journey.

I focus on helping clients navigate diverse experiences including social anxiety, trauma recovery, relationship difficulties, mood disorders, and personal growth. My approach centers on creating a supportive environment where individuals can explore their emotions, develop resilient coping strategies, and rediscover their inner strength.

My therapeutic work spans a wide range of populations and concerns, with particular expertise in supporting older adults, young professionals, veterans, first responders, and individuals managing chronic health conditions. I am dedicated to providing empathetic, personalized care that honors each person's individual path toward healing and self-understanding.
