Bio

Starting therapy can be an intimidating process that requires trust and vulnerability. I understand that therapy may feel unfamiliar and even daunting, particularly for individuals who have been historically ignored or discriminated against by society. As a therapist, I am committed to providing an anti-oppressive, anti-racist, and anti-Zionist space where your unique experiences are honored, and your voice is heard.

​

My goal is to celebrate the differences that make you who you are, and use them to build a treatment plan that is individualized and unique to your needs. My therapy style is person-centered and non-judgmental, rooted in techniques of psychodynamic and Internal Family Systems therapy with elements of DBT, ACT, and mindfulness practices. My areas of focus include depression/mood disorders, anxiety, childhood trauma, grief, self/racial/cultural identity concerns and more. 

​

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the state of Illinois. I graduated from Benedictine University with a M.S. in Clinical Psychology. Before working at Stone Catchers Counseling, I interned and worked at Guiding Light Counseling for 4 years where I provided therapy for students in the Valley View school district at the elementary, middle, and high school level. I also have experience working with young adults, adults, families and couples.
