About Our Therapists and Staff

---

I will provide you with compassionate care while ensuring that you are given the tools and information to help you heal. I can help you work toward healing if you are challenged by depression, anxiety, drugs/alcohol, bipolar disorder; sexual abuse, trauma, or if you're not sure what the problem is but need help and support.  I will work with you to help you live a better, healthier life. My extensive experience also includes helping children, teens and adults impacted by foster care, have been adopted, are birth parents, or who are adoptive/ foster parents.

My experience, skills and training include 20+ years working with individuals and families; helping clients to let go of pain and work through fear; while helping each person recognize their strengths and build recovery and living a more peaceful life.

I provide care and treatment in our office designed to provide safety, support and help you feel comfortable. I provide care and treatment to individuals and families of all backgrounds, religions, gender identity, sexual orientation, race and citizenship status.

As a firm believer in the power of genuine human connection, the dynamic between my clients and I is of my highest priority. A professor and mentor once said, “The question should not be, ‘What’s wrong with you?’ But rather, ‘What has happened to you?’” This quote shapes every conversation I hold with my clients. I am dedicated to breaking down the stigma of traditional talk therapy, particularly for young folks, by empowering my clients to rewrite their own narrative and understand their neurological roots, to become the best version of themself, for themself, their relationships, and their future.

I have significant experience working with those navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, PTSD, suicidality, grief/loss, low self-esteem, and ADHD. I also work with individuals undergoing life changes, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and families, all striving for mental, emotional, and spiritual balance. I do not believe in a “one-size-fits-all,” approach.

I am here to work with you to help you find what works best for you. I lead therapy through narrative and strengths-based approaches, paired with CBT (understanding the “why”) and DBT (implementing mindful change). I provide therapy services in the office in Homewood, IL or through video.
