If you've been carrying the weight of trauma, grief, or anxiety for longer than you can remember, you're not alone.
I've spent 12 years as a licensed counselor in Chicago working with people of all ages, from young children to seniors. What keeps me in this work is the moment a client realizes they've been surviving something hard, and that there's a different way forward.
I have a particular passion for working with mothers navigating postpartum struggles, families dealing with grief and loss, and adults working through trauma and PTSD. Many of my clients were looking for someone who would be real with them, not just professional. That's what you'll find here.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a background in nursing leadership and healthcare operations. After serving as a Chief Nursing Officer, I chose to transition into psychiatric care because I wanted to work more directly with individuals and families. I recently completed my PMHNP training and bring experience supporting people across the lifespan, from children through older adults. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, personality disorders, and addiction.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a Master of Social Work. My professional background includes providing psychotherapy in private-practice and juvenile-justice settings, where I have supported adolescents and adults from diverse cultural backgrounds. I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, emotional regulation, relationship concerns, and major life transitions.
My therapeutic style is warm, compassionate, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I use trauma-informed, strength-based, person-centered, and cognitive-behavioral approaches tailored to each client’s needs. As someone who values faith, resilience, family, and personal growth, I understand the importance of feeling genuinely seen and supported during difficult seasons. When requested, I offer faith-sensitive care that respectfully incorporates a client’s Christian beliefs. My strength is creating a safe environment where clients can process difficult experiences, recognize their strengths, develop practical coping skills, and move toward meaningful, lasting change.

Therapy to restore pleasure and emotional safety after sexual assault and other trauma for adults and their partners. I specialize in three areas: sex & intimacy, trauma & emotional regulation, and anxiety disorders such as OCD and BPD. I have extensive experience supporting individuals and partners experiencing intimacy challenges related to desire discrepancy, neurodivergence, and partners hoping to rebuild healthy sexual relationships. I strive to provide care in a space that deeply honors identity and lived experience.
