I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology in 2015 from the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Washington. While there, I co-facilitated a peer-supported group for survivors of sexual abuse, which was both humbling and one of my first experiences with the kind of meaningful work I knew I wanted to keep doing.

​

After graduation, I moved back to Chicago and began working at Trilogy, a non-profit mental health center that serves individuals with severe mental illness. That experience solidified my decision to continue, both academically and professionally, and I earned my Master's degree in Counseling Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in 2019.

​

I completed my clinical internship at Mercy Home for Boys and Girls, a residential facility for high-risk youth, where no two days were the same and every day required patience, humor, and a steady supply of coffee. After graduating, I moved into an IOP substance abuse counseling role, focusing on the correlation between addiction and trauma, where I worked for two years before transitioning to private practice.

 

In 2025, I decided to start my own company, as I obviously enjoy a challenge.

​

Trauma work is a big part of my foundation, and it shapes how I approach therapy across the board. Not only is trauma a key focus of mine, but I also have expertise in ADHD, OCD, self-esteem, and grief. If your brain feels loud or heavy, we'll probably get along.

​

Therapy with me is tailored to you, not a script. We'll use tools that align with your goals, move at a pace that makes sense, and stay transparent about what works and what doesn't.
