About

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a master’s degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago, I’ve dedicated my career to walking alongside people in some of life’s hardest seasons. My background includes years of providing clinical recommendations for children and families in the Illinois child welfare system—but my heart is in creating a safe, authentic space where people can be real, vulnerable, and heard. Most clients appreciate the lightness, hope, and humor I bring into difficult moments. I believe therapy doesn’t always have to feel heavy—it can also be a place of relief, reflection, and even laughter.
