About My Clients
My clients seek to repair relationships, manage anxiety, life transitions, occupational, and academic. I also work with couples in all stages of a relationship, including those who struggle with communication, lack of trust, infidelity, idiosyncracies, differing beliefs, and differences in parenting styles. With families, I aim to facilitate healthy communication between caregivers and children, adolescents, and young adults.
My Background and Approach
After earning my bachelor’s degree in psychology, I completed my Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy at Northern Illinois University. I have enjoyed working with an eclectic population, including adult and adolescent individuals, couples, children, and families. My clients have come from various cultural backgrounds, socioeconomic statuses, and life stages. My approach to therapy is collaborative, strength-based, relational, and trauma-informed. Mostly I use a systemic model to inform my approach, focusing on how relationships shape and impact you from the past, present, and future, specifically exploring generational history and nurturing patterns. I welcome all who are committed to healing, and introspection. I value empathy, respect, introspection, trust, and understanding. I am passionate about therapy, helping my clients reach their goals, and becoming the healthiest, most authentic, and most introspective versions of themselves.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
For as long as I can remember I have been curious and fascinated about human behavior and why we act the way we do. I am an advocate of diligence and the application of what we do in therapy. My therapeutic approach reflects my personality as a lighthearted and emotion-focused individual who values the relationships I have with myself and the others around me. I believe that in any stage of life, we can grow, learn, and adapt new skills that help us navigate the difficulties of life In my personal life, I love to indulge in all kinds of media: music, movies, TV, and books. I am a huge sports fan and enjoy exercising and being outdoors (when the weather permits). I also love to cook and experiment with different cuisines and recipes.
