Mental well-being is a journey, and I endeavor to provide a therapeutic space that is empathetic and supportive for all my clients. I strive to help my clients learn to shine their own light by utilizing person-centered care that places importance on the individual over the symptom.
I develop plans with my clients to help them take control of their mental health. I utilize therapeutic approaches designed to help my clients better understand their own motivations and take responsibility for their actions in a way that is compassionate and free from judgment. I focus on the use of motivational interviewing, empathic listening, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy.
I specialize in exploring the complex internal world that governs unconscious impulses and maladaptive coping skills that often lead to unintended conflict. I completed my MA education at the Chicago School of Professional Psychology where I gained valuable insight into the intersections of mental health, socioeconomics, public policy, and systemic issues that impact our community. I look forward to working with every client's complex internal world and helping them gain insight into themselves.
