Your Story Matters. Your Pain Matters. You Matter.
I believe healing can begin when you have a safe place to tell your story. My goal is to create a safe, accepting, and nurturing environment where you can share your story and process your feelings. Together we can explore your struggles, increase awareness of patterns, identify your needs, and set your goals. Ultimately, my goal is to help you feel empowered to make the changes you desire in your life.

About Me
I have always been an empathic person with a deep rooted passion for helping others. After my first psychology class in high school, I knew I had found my calling. I went to Illinois State University and graduated with my bachelors degree in Psychology in 2011. I decided to take a break and focused on starting my family. After enduring a difficult time in life and healing through counseling myself, I decided to return to school and got my masters degree in Clinical Psychology from Governors State University. Now I enjoy getting to help others everyday like I was helped in a time of need. I look forward to getting to know you and helping you transform your life.
I work with adults, children, couples, and families. I usually prefer in person sessions at our Homer Glen location, but I also offer sessions via telehealth.
