Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience helping individuals navigate life's challenges and achieve meaningful, lasting change. I specialize in working with anxiety disorders, depression and other mood disorders, trauma and PTSD, relationship concerns, and life transitions.
I hold a Ph.D. in Counseling, which complements my extensive clinical experience and informs my evidence-based, client-centered approach to therapy. I believe that each person possesses inherent value, resilience, and the capacity for growth. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and collaborative environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to work toward your personal goals.
Together, we will identify the issues that matter most to you, develop practical strategies for change, and build on your existing strengths to promote healing, resilience, and emotional well-being. Whether you are facing a current challenge or seeking personal growth, I am committed to helping you move forward with greater confidence, clarity, and hope.

Feeling truly understood can be life changing, especially when you have spent so much of your life feeling like you have to explain yourself. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, or exploring your identity, therapy offers a space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and move toward the life you want to create. I work with adults and couples throughout the Chicagoland area, with a special passion for supporting LGBTQ clients and fellow immigrants as they build healthier relationships, greater self compassion, and a stronger sense of belonging.
