Therapy, to me, is about finding connection to self in a deep and meaningful way that allows for attachment to others and expansion of one's life. This sacred journey can be walked in many ways. Therapy is just one way.  

I am a trauma-informed therapist trained in Somatic Experiencing, EMDR and parts work which is a blend of Internal Family Systems and Developmental Needs Meeting Place theories. I believe that people make attempts at making what's wrong right for themselves, but can sometimes get lost and stuck. I hold space with compassion and acceptance and the message that there must be a good reason. So with curiosity and a deep belief that people innately know the way, my job as a therapist is to help shine one's light back onto their path so they can connect and find their way back to themselves.

I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Indiana & Illinois.  I hold a Bachelor of Arts and a master’s degree from University of Illinois. I have experience as a therapist in a variety of settings, including community health, school, and home-based, and with private practice groups. I have learned many lessons from animals and the wild that I often resource. One of the greatest discoveries of my life has been to see how these lessons, creativity, brain science, and wellness practices merge naturally and carry great hope for healing from emotional pain.
