For over 15 years, I have assisted countless adolescents, individuals and couples with their struggles. My aim is to collaborate with you in a highly individualized approach, using evidence-based practice and tools you can use. My passion is helping people and seeing the strength and the resilience that people have. I aim to restore and enhance these assets in a compassionate and pragmatic way.

I am a graduate of the University of Illinois at Chicago's Jane Addams College of Social Work with a Clinical License and I am a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor in the State of Illinois. I have worked with people from diverse cultural and socio-economic backgrounds as well as diverse life stages. I hold a yellow belt in Tai Chi and in my free time I also enjoy playing the Ukulele, photography and oil painting.
