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 reside in the Chicagoland area. I am a midwestern gal, through and through. Although I haven’t moved far from where I was raised, I was a “Navy Wife” and lived on both coasts, eventually landing back home.

I love adventure, travel, and meeting new people. I am passionate about the realm of possibilities of life once we identify our strengths and areas of growth. Motivation, commitment, and being as healthy as possible are qualities that I identify with and can help others access in therapy, my presentations, workshops, and speaking events. I am also passionate about self-care and understanding how to best manage stress for psychophysiological health and wellness. The Guardian once interviewed me about my work with helping professionals. Random facts about me include my all-time favorite band is Nirvana, but I enjoy all music, especially R&B and alt rock. I love the shows Fargo, Resident Alien, and Better Call Saul, and I order a cannoli cake every year at Easter from an Italian bakery in Chicago. Yum! Note: Message me if you want the name of the bakery.
