My Approach: Active, Collaborative, and Supportive

I believe counseling should feel like a real conversation that is engaging, practical, and focused on what matters most to you. While I bring professional training and clinical expertise, you are the expert on your own life. My role is to walk alongside you, offering insights, strategies, and tools that fit your goals and experiences.

As someone who has personally navigated life with ADHD and Social Anxiety Disorder, I understand the challenges that come with anxiety and neurodivergence. At times, I share relevant parts of my own journey to help clients feel seen and understood. And because therapy does not always have to be heavy, I bring humor into our work when it feels right. Sometimes laughter can open the door to deeper connection and growth.

Experience You Can Rely On

I have worked in a variety of mental health settings, including homeless shelters, community centers, and private practice. For two years, I led a Social Anxiety Group Therapy Program, blending CBT, ACT, and exposure-based work to help people build confidence and social skills. I have had the privilege of working with clients from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and identities, and I am committed to providing culturally conscious and affirming care.

Let’s Work Together

Whether your goal is to feel more confident in social situations, manage anxiety, or connect more deeply with your authentic self, I am here to help. I offer virtual counseling throughout Illinois. Together, we can create a plan that supports your growth and helps you live a life that feels connected, purposeful, and truly your own.
