Hello and welcome! As a marriage and family therapist, I enjoy working with couples, families and individuals that have concerns regarding relationships. I understand that motivation and self-sabotage often get in the way of people experiencing fulfilling relationships and strive to help people overcome these blocks. I believe that therapy should be a collaborative experience and that my clients will get the most out of the work if they are actively involved in the process.
I received my M.A. in Clinical Psychology, Marriage and Family Therapy Specialization from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology where I also began my clinical training working in community mental health. I have primarily worked with older teenagers and young adults in a variety of clinical settings that want to overcome specific concerns or just understand themselves better. I particularly enjoy helping people explore how their family of origin relationships impact their current sense of well-being. In addition to working at this practice, I also work as a staff therapist at a community college where I
provide brief therapy, mental health related presentations and help to decrease the stigma for seeking mental health treatment. I am also a graduate school adjunct professor and teach a variety of classes to students that hope to become marriage and family therapists in the future.
The most important part of therapy working is having trust and a sense of safety. This work can be challenging and it’s important to me that you feel that you have what you need to reach your goals safely. In addition to providing therapy, I am also a professor and enjoy finding creative ways to help people understand things better.
When I'm not working, I enjoy dance, rewatching some of my favorite shows (usually Star Trek) and having some quiet time to recharge. I also love food so if someone recommends a restaurant I haven't tried before, I'm usually up for a new food adventure!
​
I look forward to going on this journey with you!
