I have over 20 years of clinical experience helping individuals, couples, and families seeking help to resolve some of their problems with conflict, adjusting to life event stressors, recovering from trauma to become survivors and not victims. Furthermore, I like to help others with addictions of practically every kind to change their habits with replacement thoughts, behaviors, and actions that improve their sense of purpose in life and handling their emotions rather than avoiding them with their maladaptive behaviors. A majority of my training and experience has been on helping clients incorporate positive communication skills, conflict resolution skills, and improve upon their ability to stop negative thinking habits that tend to interfere with change.

I have years of experience helping clients cope with both the symptoms as well as the underlying causes of their struggles with issues of anxiety, trauma and PTSD, depression, difficulty managing anger, alcohol or other substance use disorders, and relational difficulties that often stem from low self-confidence and the need for updated and enhanced communication skills. My clinical style combines a personal approach that aims to make the client feel genuinely understood, supported, and safe. I utilize a variety of therapeutic interventions that help to update coping skills and strategies, while operating from a psychodynamic base that can facilitate both shorter- and longer-term psychotherapy for deeper-reaching, more stable positive change. I am also certified to provide EMDR when appropriate. I received a Master's degree in Social Work from Loyola University Chicago in 2010, and I also hold degrees in philosophy, theology, and consciousness studies. I have lived and/or worked in California, Illinois, and Indiana, and I currently reside in Louisiana.

I became a therapist because I believe healing starts when people finally feel safe enough to stop performing and start being fully seen. Everyone deserves a space where they feel heard, supported, understood, and accepted without judgment. Life can become overwhelming when you are carrying stress, navigating major transitions, managing relationships, balancing responsibilities, or constantly feeling like you have to hold everything together for everyone else. Over time, even high-functioning people can begin to feel exhausted, disconnected, anxious, or unsure of who they are outside of taking care of others. I work primarily with adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, emotionally drained, or stretched too thin. Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, people-pleasing patterns, boundaries, divorce, relationship concerns, workplace stress, imposter syndrome, identity development, personal growth, and life transitions that leave them questioning what comes next. My approach is warm, collaborative, culturally responsive, and practical. Therapy with me is not about judgment or perfection. It is about creating space for honest conversations, meaningful insight, and real change. Together, we identify patterns that no longer serve you, strengthen coping strategies, improve communication, increase confidence, and develop healthier ways of showing up for yourself and the people you care about. I integrate evidence-based approaches while recognizing that every person’s story, values, and lived experiences deserve to be honored. My goal is to provide care that feels both clinically grounded and deeply human. Whether you are processing change, recovering from difficult experiences, building healthier relationships, or simply trying to reconnect with yourself, you do not have to figure it all out alone. We will begin where you are and move at a pace that feels supportive and sustainable. I strive to make therapy feel like a place where you can finally exhale, reflect, grow, and create a life that feels more aligned, balanced, and fulfilling. Outside of the therapy space, I enjoy traveling, spending time with family, attending concerts, exploring museums, and relaxing near the beach. Those moments remind me that healing is not only about surviving difficult seasons. It is also about creating room for joy, connection, restoration, and living fully. I currently have openings for adult clients in Illinois, Minnesota, and Rhode Island.
