Racing thoughts, emotional fatigue, rejection sensitivity, irritability; anxiety and attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD) can feel like running on fumes, even if it looks like you’re doing great. Whether you're in Chicago as a creative, perfectionist, parent, or recent grad, losing your focus to burnout, or feeling trapped by old cycles and your harsh inner critic, you don't have to navigate this exhaustion alone. Together, we can work through and reduce the overwhelm. I can help you slow down, ground yourself, process past events, regulate your nervous system, and transform frustrating habits into sustainable routines for more joy and fulfillment in your life. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. I don't use a one-size-fits-all model. Instead, we combine deep, insight-oriented exploration with practical tools. By blending conversational, client-centered therapy with structured cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) strategies and motivational tools, we focus on what truly matters to you while building genuine, long-lasting change. Before becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I traveled the world as a videographer for Planet Earth. Being behind the lens taught me patience, deep observation, and a profound curiosity for the stories that connect us. Today, I bring that same open, nonjudgmental presence to therapy.

I became a mental health counselor after realizing the importance of having a therapist who truly wanted to assist in making positive changes in life.

Every person and relationship are uniquely different, which I deeply respect and appreciate. Our sessions will allow you to explore your own personal path to understanding and resolving your challenges while building new skills, perhaps shifting some of your perspectives, and making positive lasting changes. Conversations in therapy are intensely personal, and solid rapport and trust are essential components in a successful client-therapist relationship. Feeling comfortable with your therapist and having confidence in their expertise is vitally important. I believe that building strong, unbiased relationships with my clients through unconditional acceptance in an affirming space allows them to gently explore and challenge unhelpful patterns with confidence and thoughtfulness. Living a joyful and satisfying life as a self-actualized and authentic person requires self-reflection and ongoing efforts. These are investments in yourself that you deserve.

Together we will address any overwhelming or unmanageable thoughts, emotions, or behaviors. I can help you better understand and accept yourself and adjust what you would like to see changed. You can expect active collaboration, some homework between sessions, and ongoing focus on progress towards the goals you identify for yourself. I will support you through every aspect of this process.

My practice also supports individuals struggling with narcissistic personality traits or a narcissistic personality style, offering guidance to help them better understand their behavior patterns, improve their relationships, and lead more fulfilling lives.
