My Approach to Helping
You’re here because something isn’t working. Maybe you feel trapped in the same relationship patterns, wrestling with questions about faith or purpose, or struggling with emotions that feel too big to manage. You might be longing for deeper connection, self-acceptance, or a more straightforward path. Whatever has brought you here, I want you to know that you don’t have to figure it out alone.
I take an integrative approach to therapy, blending pastoral, psychodynamic, and interpersonal frameworks to help you gain insight, heal past wounds, and move toward meaningful change. My style is warm, collaborative, and thoughtful—I strive to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported as we explore your challenges. Therapy with me isn’t just about managing symptoms; it’s about understanding the deeper story of your life and making space for healing and transformation.
With over 10 years of experience in social services, including roles in case management, administration, and leading counseling services for a large, multicultural congregation in Chicago—I deeply respect the unique journeys people take toward growth. I bring this perspective into our work, honoring your lived experiences while helping you cultivate new ways of being.
The therapy room is a sacred space, one where you are free to show up as you are, without judgment or pretense. I hope we can create a space where you feel empowered to navigate life’s challenges with clarity, resilience, and a greater sense of connection to yourself and others.
You don’t have to stay stuck. I'd love to walk alongside you if you're ready to take the next step.
