During our first few sessions I create an environment where you will feel safe and at ease to open up. I make sure to flow at whatever pace feels comfortable to you. The beginning of therapy is an important phase to build rapport and make sure that I am the right fit for you. We will work together to create treatment plan goals to work towards so that we have a framework to know where to take the therapy moving forward but can always adapt as time goes on.

I have a unique background and lens that I bring as a therapist. My Master’s degree is in Counseling and Dance/Movement Therapy from Columbia College Chicago. It was in this program that I learned not only of the importance of working with the mind but also the body as well. I say that I work from a mind, body, and soul based-lens. Helping to bring these into balance. I am a very interactive therapist, making sure to give you the tools and skills you need; along with using different therapeutic modalities within sessions. I believe strongly in the healing power of creativity and often will use art, writing, movement if that is something you would like to engage with.

I have always been a person that others feel safe to open up to and provide guidance and wisdom. It has always come very easily, naturally, and organically to me. Being a therapist is truly my passion. I love walking alongside others as they increase awareness, heal, change, become more empowered, and overcome. Not only do I bring my education and knowledge but I also bring my own life experiences that have influenced me to give back and be there for others.
