Many of the clients I work with are thoughtful, capable people who have spent a long time adapting to stress, responsibility, or difficult life experiences. They may be used to showing up for others while privately feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or unsure why certain patterns keep repeating in relationships, work, or daily life.

I often connect well with clients who:

• tend to overthink everything and struggle to quiet their mind

• feel responsible for other people’s emotions or wellbeing

• have a hard time slowing down without guilt

• struggle with ADHD-related overwhelm, procrastination, or burnout

• are healing from painful relationship experiences

• find themselves repeating patterns they want to change

• are navigating anxiety, emotional exhaustion, or chronic stress

• are learning to reconnect with themselves after years of survival mode

• want healthier boundaries but feel guilty setting them

• are moving through life transitions that bring uncertainty or self-doubt

I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Roosevelt University and provide virtual therapy for teens and adults across Illinois. My work focuses on supporting clients navigating trauma, ADHD, relationship stress, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions.

Before transitioning into private practice, I worked in community mental health, supporting individuals facing a wide range of emotional, relational, and behavioral concerns. That experience strengthened my understanding of how trauma, chronic stress, family dynamics, and life circumstances can shape the ways people cope, connect, and move through the world.

Earlier in my career, I worked directly with children with autism and developmental differences as a board certified autism technician. That role deepened my understanding of neurodivergence, emotional regulation, and the importance of meeting each person within their unique needs, strengths, and environment.

My professional background also includes work as a licensed massage therapist, where I completed continuing education in Reiki and Shiatsu, as well as a 200-hour yoga teacher training through Chicago School of Yoga. These experiences continue to shape my appreciation for the connection between the mind, body, and nervous system, particularly in the context of stress and healing.

My approach integrates evidence-based therapy with a trauma-informed understanding of how past experiences can influence emotions, relationships, and daily functioning. I aim to create a supportive space where clients can better understand themselves, strengthen coping skills, and move toward lasting change in ways that feel meaningful to them.
