About Me

As a licensed therapist in Illinois & Florida, I bring over two decades of compassionate, specialized experience supporting individuals through complex life challenges. My practice centers on creating affirming, supportive spaces for LGBTQ+ individuals, older adults, and those navigating significant personal transitions.

I specialize in addressing stress, anxiety, relationship dynamics, trauma recovery, and life change adaptation. My approach is deeply attuned to individual experiences, with particular expertise in supporting clients through issues like social anxiety, workplace challenges, sexual health, identity exploration, and interpersonal communication.

My therapeutic work honors each person’s unique journey, focusing on building self-love, processing difficult emotions, and developing resilient coping strategies. Whether you’re experiencing relationship struggles, processing past trauma, or seeking personal growth, I’m committed to walking alongside you with empathy, respect, and professional guidance.
