From a young age, I have been deeply moved by the complexities of human emotion and the resilience of the human spirit. Witnessing the impact of life’s challenges on my own family inspired me to create a space where individuals and couples can feel understood and supported in their healing journeys. My work is rooted in compassion, connection, and a steadfast belief in the transformative power of therapy to help people move from pain to growth.

I became a therapist because of my own experiences with not being seen or heard during a challenging childhood. That experience motivated me to become someone who truly listens and supports others through their struggles. Seeing the progress my clients make—both in small steps and significant breakthroughs—continues to inspire and energize me every day.

Grief, trauma, and anxiety can make the world feel unsteady—like you’re constantly trying to find your footing while carrying an invisible weight. You might feel isolated in your pain, unsure how to move forward, or overwhelmed by emotions that don’t seem to make sense. These experiences can feel disorienting, but they don’t have to define you. I specialize in supporting individuals through the emotional impact of trauma, loss, and anxiety, helping them reconnect with their strength and sense of clarity.

I know how draining it can feel to constantly second-guess yourself, especially when self-doubt, perfectionism, and past trauma have taken root. As a licensed therapist with an MSW from Loyola University Chicago, I’ve worked with many individuals struggling with these patterns, and I understand how hard it can be to feel "good enough." My approach is grounded in my own experience with the healing power of movement, mindfulness, and compassionate care, which continues to inspire me in my work with clients every day.

When you’re living with trauma, anxiety, or navigating a major life shift, it can feel like you’ve lost touch with yourself—your body, your clarity, your sense of direction. Maybe you’re exhausted but can’t sleep, disconnected from others, or stuck in cycles you can’t seem to break. These moments can be disorienting, isolating, and heavy. But healing doesn’t always start with fixing—it often begins with reconnecting: to your body, your values, your breath, and the parts of you that have been working so hard to survive.

Relationship wounds—especially the ones that begin in childhood or within our families—have a way of showing up again and again. You might find yourself stuck in the same arguments, feeling invisible in your closest relationships, or unsure how to express what you need without guilt or fear. These patterns can be painful, but they also hold clues about what’s been missing. Whether you’re navigating challenges with a partner or trying to untangle the lasting impact of a mother-daughter relationship, healing is possible—and you don’t have to do it alone.
