I am so glad you're here. I know starting therapy can feel like a big step. My hope is to create a space where you can slow down, make sense of what you're experiencing, and feel supported as we work toward the changes that matter most to you. Together, we'll explore what's keeping you stuck, build on the strengths you already have, and use practical and evidence-based tools to help you create meaningful and lasting change.

My background: I have a B.A. from Wheaton College Massachusetts and a MSW from Loyola University Chicago. I worked for 10 years as a school social worker at the middle school and district-wide level. I have provided presentations and training for staff, students, and parents on managing anxiety and depression, coping with stress, and strengthening executive functioning.

 

Additionally, I bring six years of experience providing outpatient psychotherapy to adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, isolation, change, relationships and personal growth. After years of supporting clients within a clinical setting, I have transitioned to full-time private practice to continue offering compassionate, individualized care tailored to each client’s unique needs. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, reading, hiking, yoga, and spending time with my family.
