(she/her)
I specialize in working with women who are partners of first responders and understand the unique stress that comes with loving someone in a high-demand, unpredictable career. When schedules change last minute, communication feels strained, or you find yourself carrying the emotional weight at home, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected—from your partner and from yourself. You don’t have to hold it all together on your own. I work with women who are used to being strong for everyone else but need a space where they can finally exhale. In our work together, you’ll feel heard, supported, and gently challenged as you rebuild connection, manage stress, and find a steadier sense of yourself again. Whether you’re navigating burnout, relationship strain, or simply need a space that’s yours—this is where you can begin to reset.
Our first session is all about getting to know you—your story, your challenges, and what brought you here. It’s a chance for us to explore your goals and see how I can best support you. I’ll also walk you through what to expect from therapy, answer any questions, and set a foundation for our work together. This is a space where you can be yourself, feel heard, and know you’re not alone in this journey.
I help clients uncover their inner strengths and use them as tools for meaningful change. My approach creates a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences—whether rooted in the past, present, or future. With both personal and professional insight into the complexities of first responder families and the BIPOC community, I understand the unique challenges these roles bring. Together, we’ll identify patterns, build resilience, and develop strategies that align with your goals, so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, lost, or stretched thin by the demands of life? Maybe you’re the one everyone depends on, yet you’re left wondering, “Who am I outside of these roles?” I specialize in helping individuals—especially first responder spouses—navigate anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions. At Selah Therapy, I offer a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), talk therapy, and Christian counseling upon request. Our work together will focus on uncovering the patterns that keep you feeling stuck, so you can rediscover your sense of peace and purpose. Whether you struggle with managing your emotions, supporting a loved one, or simply need a space to be heard, my goal is to walk with you as you reclaim your joy and strength. If you’re ready to take a moment for yourself, reflect on what truly matters, and move forward with intention, let’s connect. With telehealth sessions available across Illinois, support is just a call away. You don’t have to do this alone—your next step toward healing starts here.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help clients identify inaccurate or negative thought patterns so they can improve their response to challenging situations and respond to them in a more effective way. This method has shown to be effective with for individuals dealing with depression and anxiety, as well as other mental health disorders.
Christian Counseling
I honor and respect each persons spiritual beliefs. When providing counseling from a Christian lens I offer clients the opportunity to explore the role of God in an individuals life, and explore the impact of their spirituality in their life and situation.
Multicultural
I have 10 years of experience working with individuals in the BIPOC community, as well as my own lived experience. When I provide therapy to clients in this group I am sensitive to their cultural norms and love to learn from my clients how their culture impacts their daily life. The client is the expert on their story.
