I am a therapist & coach who strives to empower others to obtain successful outcomes as they are faced with life challenges. I work with pre-teenagers and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, self esteem, foster care related issues and child and adolescent trauma. Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery, and can be experienced in various forms. I promote behavioral transformation by encouraging a positive outlook and the adoption of new attitudes and relationships.

I have worked with clients in the corrections system and helped countless others through the Suicide Prevention Lifeline. Having a background in working with clients experiencing anxiety due to many of life stressors and the recent pandemic prompted me to create a proven program to help others obtain successful outcomes releasing them from their anxiety. Recognizing each client has different needs; I use expressive arts in addition to other psychological elements to empower clients. 

I earned a master’s degree in Psychology in 2009 and a master’s degree in Clinical mental Health Counseling from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in 2020. I have extensive experience working with clients and families who are struggling with anxiety, depression and adjustment disorders. I also have additional training in child and adolescent trauma, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy and trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy.
