Greetings, and thanks for stopping by! I am so glad you landed here!

Hi! Here is a little about me. I was born, raised, and still live in the Chicagoland area, a Midwesterner through and through. While this has always been home, my time as a Navy wife gave me the chance to live on both coasts before returning.

I am passionate about the possibilities that emerge when we understand our strengths and areas for growth. I help individuals access motivation, commitment, and sustainable ways to care for their overall health through therapy, as well as through my presentations, workshops, and speaking engagements. My work emphasizes self-care and effective stress management to support psychophysiological well-being, and has been featured in The Guardian in relation to helping professionals.

I am especially passionate about supporting helping professionals and individuals navigating chronic health conditions. I was once interviewed by The Guardian about my work with helping professionals.

When I am not working, you might find me exploring Chicago, reading, or hiking. I split my time between the suburbs and the city, and I appreciate a wide range of music, especially hip-hop and alt-rock. I also enjoy trying new restaurants whenever I get the chance. Feel free to reach out if you are looking for a recommendation!
