LCPC, 16 years of experience
Do you ever feel like you’re constantly juggling work, family, and relationships — but still end up feeling stretched too thin? Maybe you’re trying to care for everyone else while your own needs fall to the bottom of the list. It’s exhausting, and it can leave you feeling anxious, down, or disconnected from the life you want to be living. I get it. Life can be overwhelming, and sometimes it takes sitting with someone who truly listens to begin untangling it all. In therapy, you’ll find a supportive space where you don’t have to “hold it all together.” Together, we’ll explore what’s weighing on you and use practical, evidence-based tools to help you manage stress, improve relationships, and reconnect with yourself. I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois with over 16 years of experience helping people navigate challenges like anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, caregiving stress, and major life transitions.
We’ll start with a simple conversation: getting to know you, your story, and what feels most urgent right now. From there, I’ll work with you to create a personalized plan that feels manageable and supportive.
• Helping clients develop stronger self-care and self-acceptance • Building empowerment and confidence • Navigating conflict in relationships • Supporting parents and caregivers of children and aging parents • Guiding clients through grief, loss, and major life transitions
I enjoy working with adults who feel overwhelmed by life’s demands, are coping with cycles of stress, anxiety, or depression, or who are seeking healthier relationships. Many of my clients are parents, caregivers, or professionals who are used to “pushing through” but are ready to slow down, heal, and create lasting change.
