I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Illinois and have been a social worker for over 15 years. I provide personal counseling/therapy based upon the principles of humanistic therapy and positive psychology, which focus upon your strengths and what is right with you rather than what is "wrong" with you. In working with clients my approach is to be overwhelmingly positive, supportive and encouraging. I focus almost exclusively upon working with people who experienced childhood trauma due to ongoing abuse and neglect. I was a victim of substantial emotional abuse and neglect throughout my own childhood and have spent many years dealing with the negative consequences of those experiences, so I have tremendous empathy and understanding of the difficulties that others who have gone through this might have faced over the years. I can easily relate to people’s struggles to learn who they really are and identify their core self which had to be hidden in order to survive childhood. I will help you identify your needs, wants and desires, which have been buried for so many years. The ultimate goal is to heal the emotional wounds you carry within you so you can begin to lead the kind of life that you want that meets those needs and desires and is no longer ruled by the internalized fear of your abuser.

Hi there! I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a licensed therapist in Illinois, and for the past few years I’ve had the honor of supporting amazing kids, teens, and adults as they move through tough emotions like anxiety, depression, and self-doubt—and start to feel safer, stronger, and more confident in who they are. I’ve worked with people navigating all kinds of life experiences: everything from grief and trauma to relationship challenges, self-worth struggles, and major transitions like postpartum changes, gender identity exploration, or starting over in a new environment. I’ve also supported families through things like childhood behavioral concerns, emotional outbursts, perfectionism, and trauma recovery. My vibe in sessions? Think safe space meets deep healing meets gentle energy work. I believe strongly in the mind-body connection, and I love integrating Reiki and other calming tools into the process when it feels aligned for you or your child. I’ve always been that go-to friend or family member who wanted to help, problem-solve, and offer support from the heart. That deep care led me to become a social worker, and eventually a Certified Reiki Master Teacher. I completed my undergrad at Columbia College of Missouri and my master’s in social work at Aurora University. Whether we’re working together on stress, trauma, LGBTQ+ identity support, relationship concerns, or building confidence—my goal is to co-create a space where you can show up fully, feel safe being yourself, and explore healing without fear of judgment. Taking that first step can feel big—and a little scary—but you’re not doing it alone. I’m here to support you every step of the way.
