I kept going because if I didn't, who would? I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Illinois and New Hampshire. I work with women who are exhausted in a way they cannot explain to anyone. Women who have never been able to take the mask off because they do not know who is underneath it. Who just want someone to see them. Really see them.

I strongly believe that each person “Lives what they know” and sometimes may struggle to change without help. I want to help each person effect that change within themselves and in their lives.

I'm passionate about creating a supportive and non-judgmental space where you can explore your feelings, overcome challenges, and reach your personal goals. Together, we'll work on building resilience, enhancing your strengths, and fostering positive change in your life.

“I like my therapist because she lets me speak freely and without any judgement or without doing most the talking, or talking over me. She lets me decide what I’d like to talk about specifically each session which is nice because if something popped up that I want to address I feel like I can without delay. When she does add input and expertise it is timely, sincere, and valuable. I actually look forward to my sessions and feel the co-pay vs help received is well worth it. Also, her skillset with EMDR is very helpful in the healing process and journey for anyone willing to go all in and utilize it to its fullest potential.”

Your brain isn't running the wrong OS -it just needs better scripts. I work with neurodivergent teens and adults on anxiety, burnout, and self-doubt using CBT, DBT, ACT, and IFS. No toxic positivity - just honest conversation and tools that actually fit how your brain works.
