My approach is gentle, grounded, and trauma-informed. I meet you where you are with compassion, curiosity, and no pressure to rush the process. I believe real healing happens when you feel safe, understood, and supported in exploring what's beneath the surface.

Together, we will explore the patterns, beliefs, and experiences that are keeping you stuck. We'll work to build insight, process unresolved trauma, and strengthen your connection to yourself. Using EMDR, parts work, and other interventions, we'll move at a pace that feels safe, towards clarity, healing, and lasting change.

My clients describe me as warm, grounding, insightful, and direct. They often say they feel truly seen and supported in our work. I'm known for creating a safe, nonjudgmental space while also gently challenging patterns and helping clients make meaningful, lasting change.

I specialize in working with people who feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, low self-worth, or trauma, especially those navigating dissociation, generational trauma, or postpartum challenges. Many of my clients are insightful and motivated for change, but need support reconnecting with themselves and healing what's underneath.

I became a therapist because I believe in the power of healing through connection. My own inner work, including doing EMDR as a client, showed me how transformative therapy can be. I wanted to offer others the same kind of support: a safe, attuned space to be seen, understood, and truly heal.

As a therapist, I bring warmth, curiosity, and a trauma-informed lens to every session. My growing online practice allows me to offer flexible, accessible care to adults across Illinois. I use EMDR, CBT, mindfulness, and parts work to support lasting change, and continue training in trauma, dissociation, and postpartum mental health.
