I have been working in mental health treatment for nearly 20 years. I offer early morning appointments for Illinois residents. If you work atypical hours, or just prefer mornings, my schedule will be perfect for you (1am-12:00pm, depending on the day). Lots of my clients like to get in a session before their work day begins, to start the morning off right!

Therapist

Humility, honesty and humor are what I value most in my relationships with my clients to create lasting change. I work with people from a variety of backgrounds and genders, but I specialize in helping women heal from relationship and attachment trauma so they can overcome anxiety, navigate changes in their relationships and careers, reconnect with their sense of self, and create healthier, more fulfilling connections.


My other specialty is working with those in the helping professions to support them in advocacy and in overcoming compassion fatigue and burnout.


I got my MSW (Master of Social Work) at Aurora University to become a therapist in 2012. I got my start in community mental health, working in post-adoption and focusing on trauma and attachment work with families. I transitioned to private practice in September 2021.
