Our therapists offer PTSD & trauma therapy in Woodridge, IL

I am a Licensed Social Worker with 5 years of experience. I provide psychotherapy to children, adolescents, and adults facing challenges such as trauma, mood and anxiety disorders, life transitions, and identity development. I often work with adolescents, emerging adults, BIPOC communities, and individuals navigating cultural identity, family dynamics, and generational expectations. Many of my clients seek relief from overwhelm, disconnection, or self-doubt, and I support them in building resilience, fostering self-understanding, and creating solutions that reflect their values.

I earned my Master of Social Work from Loyola University Chicago. In my work, I integrate cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and narrative and humanistic approaches to help clients manage emotions, shift unhelpful patterns, develop insight, clarify values, and cultivate self-compassion.

I understand that reaching out for support can feel daunting, and I deeply honor the courage it takes to begin therapy. In our work together, you will be met with compassion, understanding, and a safe space to share your story without judgment. My goal is to guide you toward growth, healing, and a stronger sense of clarity and connection.
