I think we all want to be deeply listened to and to be truly heard. And when this happens I think a transformation takes place within us.

My therapeutic approach is to assist you in finding your own path to health, healing and self-awareness. My hope is that our time together becomes a space of belonging, a sacred space, where you can safely explore and know your true self.

I have a Masters degree in Social Work from Loyola University Chicago. I have clinical experience in addiction treatment and recovery, community based disability advocacy, neurodiverse clients, outdoor experiential education and groupwork, and experience working with Veterans.   I enjoy working with a diverse clientele and I consider myself an experiential learner and practitioner. I have experience in a hospital setting with people with traumatic brain injury, moral injury and trauma injuries, where I also worked with their families and caregivers.

My current interest is to help the helpers, to offer support to anyone in a helping profession or whose most demanding role in this season for life involves caring for others.

My experiences have spanned the range of teens and adults, and in all life transitions.   I am trained as a massage therapist which informs my practice.  I am a mother to two young kids and I am married to an Iraq War Veteran.  

Approach and Philosophy

I believe in a collaborative and holistic approach to therapy where mind, body and soul are all considered.  I can work with you toward an awareness and loosening of the patterns that have left you unable to live as authentically and healthfully as you might like. 

Therapy can be a safe place to be in relationship with your own mind and the world.  I provide gentle and empathic grounded perspective to therapy, with mindful intention, curiosity and humor.
