PHILOSOPHY

​

It takes courage to recognize when you need help. I am here to help you take the steps necessary to live a more fulfilling life - one that is true to your authentic self - by creating a judgment-free environment that is supportive and welcoming to all walks of life. Our mental health affects not only how we feel, but also how we think and act. There is a deeper connection between mental and physical health and, together, we can explore how this connection impacts you. Through gaining this greater understanding of oneself, our overall well-being is improved. We are better able to develop and maintain meaningful relationships, understand why we feel certain emotions, and make decisions that fall in line with our values. We become resilient and find ways to cope with stress in more beneficial ways. When challenges in life seem to become unmanageable, it can be helpful to share our experiences with a warm, empathic listener whose sole interest is to help you create lasting change in your life.

 

I provide an open space to talk about stressors, work collaboratively with you on creating goals, and offer feedback and new skills to reach those goals. My integrative style of therapy focuses on interpersonal, insight-oriented, and CBT/DBT approaches. This allows us to develop a supportive, trusting relationship, delve into how past experiences are affecting current problems, and incorporate different skill and evidence-based practices into our sessions. I believe our work together can help you feel empowered and validated; alleviating some of the stress and emotional pain you are facing.

​

I find my passion lies in working with individuals who are motivated for change and growth. I enjoy helping those who seek support with mood and anxiety challenges, trauma, maternal mental health, relationship/couples difficulties, personality disorders, and grief and loss.

 

EXPERIENCE

​

I completed my pre-doctoral internship at Advocate Illinois Masonic Behavioral Health Services. It has been my honor to provide services for clients with a variety of presenting challenges, as well as clients coming from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds, sexual orientations, and socioeconomic statuses. I have predominantly provided individual, group, and couples therapy.

​

During my internship, I was also fortunate to be a part of the OB/GYN therapist team. With this rotation, I worked on a multidisciplinary team serving perinatal and postpartum women experiencing a range of issues such as infertility, loss, past traumas, and relationship challenges. Additionally, I facilitated extensive trauma processing work with clients at the Marjorie Kovler Center for the Treatment of Survivors prior to my work at Advocate.
