Owner and Psychologist

Licensed to provide services in Illinois and Psypact States (https://psypact.org/mpage/psypactmap)

I have worked in the healthcare field for over 20 years and have been a licensed psychologist for 9 years. What I love most is cultivating a safe space for clients to explore and improve their wellbeing in their day to day life.

I have worked across the lifespan with clients ranging from 6-86. I work from an intersectional lens to understand how all aspects of your experience inform your narratives and impact your wellbeing. I am dedicated to establishing an authentic connection and creating a safe space for clients to being or continue their process of growth and healing.

My specialties include treatment of depression, anxiety, stress, grief, psychosis, post traumatic stress, substance misuse, coping with chronic health conditions, and coping with life change and transition. Regardless of the diagnosis I work holistically and work to help you understand how your mind and your body work together.

My preferred treatment approach is third wave cognitive approaches including Recovery Oriented Cognitive Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I approach all work from a relational lens. For couples and families I use a Emotional Focused Therapy (EFT) approach.
