Life’s challenges — especially today's challenges—have a way of wearing down your spirit, making self-doubt and uncertainty feel like unwelcome companions. You might present a polished “I’ve got it all together” exterior, while inside, it feels like a juggling act of emotions, worries, and what-ifs.
I understand the experience of feeling out of sync—whether it’s navigating intense emotions, questioning aspects of your identity, or working through the impact of difficult experiences. My goal is to offer a space where you’re not just a person seeking help but a valued individual, deserving of understanding, compassion, and a sense of belonging.
I specialize in supporting adults facing anxiety and depression, life transitions, struggles with dependency, and the complexities of LGBTQ+ experiences. I also provide a space for helpers — fellow therapists, educators, frontline responders — because even those who offer care need a place to recharge and be heard.
My goal is to help you reconnect with your strengths, shift unhelpful patterns, and build more fulfilling relationships. Since no two people are the same, I tailor our sessions to your unique needs, drawing from approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing.
Therapy with me is a collaborative process. We’ll work as a team to explore what healing and growth look like for you. Along the way, you can expect genuine, down-to-earth support—with a touch of humor to keep things balanced. After all, sometimes laughter is as therapeutic as insight.
Change doesn’t happen overnight—it’s more of a marathon than a sprint. But with patience, persistence, and the right support, we can untangle old patterns and create space for new, empowering possibilities.
Together, we’ll build the resilience and confidence to face life’s challenges with clarity and strength.
“You can’t be that kid standing at the top of the waterslide, overthinking it.
You have to go down the chute.”
— Tina Fey
After finishing my undergrad studies at Eastern Illinois University, I completed my Master of Social Work degree at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Illinois.
I'm a Champaign-Urbana native, and serve as both a therapist and clinical supervisor at Bodhi Counseling. My professional journey includes experiences in diverse settings ranging from inpatient hospitals to general practices.
I’m a patron of several YouTube “let’s play” channels so I can enjoy great videogames despite an unfortunate lack of natural gaming skills. I probably have too many houseplants, and several have somehow migrated to my office.
