“Life is what happens after we make plans”. I believe life has a way of bringing us to feelings of
loneliness, hopelessness, or can become overwhelming causing change at a rapid rate. When
these difficulties occur they can lead to depression, anxiety or feeling as though you can not
move forward. At times like these it can be helpful to address theses with someone who will
help you to begin to move forward again. Therapy is a solution to life’s plans that were not a part
of the ones you laid out for yourself. Therapy can get you back moving forward.
I am here to get you on that track. I have been in the field of mental health for over seven years.
I obtained my Masters in Clinical Social work from Loyola University in 2013. I am a Licensed
Clinical Social Worker in the state of Illinois specializing in treating those struggling with
depression, anxiety, trauma related issues, behavioral issues, and couples counseling. I come
from a strengths based perspective. I am driven by the call placed on my life by God for this
work. As a faith based counselor I work with my clients to gain the strength within them to move
forward. I believe that everyone has an innate ability to move past life’s issues. Together we will
work on strategies that will allow you to address the root causes of your difficulties and build
meaningful social connections.
Using an eclectic approach through psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, attachment,
mindfulness and other evidence-based approaches, we will develop more strength in you to get
back to a healthier mental focus. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.
Navigating grief and life transitions are integral parts of the therapeutic journey. Coping with loss, whether it's the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or other significant changes, can be incredibly challenging. Similarly, life transitions such as career changes, moving to a new city, or adjusting to parenthood can evoke a range of emotions and uncertainties.
As your therapist, I provide support and guidance through these experiences for children, adults, and even fellow therapists. I help you process your emotions, find meaning in your grief, and adapt to life's transitions. Together, we can explore strategies for coping with loss, managing change, and fostering resilience.
By acknowledging and addressing grief and life transitions in therapy, we can create a safe space for healing and growth. Whether you're grappling with loss, facing a major life change, or simply seeking support during a challenging time, know that you don't have to navigate these experiences alone. I'm here to walk alongside you on your journey towards healing and personal transformation.

Hello and welcome! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist specializing in working with middle-aged and older adults. I understand how daunting it can feel to find the right therapist among so many choices.
In my own journey, I’ve experienced the profound challenges and rewards of caregiving, having cared for my father during his struggle with Lewy Body Dementia and my mother through her battle with COVID.
