Are you searching for an affirming therapist who meets you where you are, without judgement? I'm so glad you found me.
I specialize in working with teens, young adults, and LGBTQ+ clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use. My approach is warm, collaborative, and flexible, because I believe that good therapy isn't one-size-fits-all — it's built around you. I draw from evidence-based methods including Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and I’ll always account for what approach fits your life and your goals.
As a telehealth therapist serving clients across Illinois, I make quality mental health support accessible from wherever you feel most comfortable.
What's it like to work with me? I'm not here to hand you a checklist or tell you who to be. I'm here to listen, ask good questions, and figure things out alongside you. Sometimes that looks like learning new coping skills. Sometimes it means talking through things together. And sometimes it's just having a space where you can exhale and be yourself. My priority is to support and empower you.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Illinois with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Spanish from Butler University and a Master's in Clinical Psychology from Eastern Illinois University. My specialties include therapy for teens and young adults, treatment for anxiety and depression, emotion regulation, trauma therapy, and LGBTQ+ affirming care.
When I'm not with clients, you can find me baking, painting, reading, or playing games with friends. I’m a huge animal lover, so if you have pets, I’d love to meet them! I have two cats of my own, plus an ever-growing collection of house plants.
If I sound like a good fit for you, please reach out whenever you’re ready! No pressure, and no commitment, just a chance to see if we're a good fit. Schedule your free consultation, and I'll take it from there.
