Treatment Philosophy

Navigating the challenges of day-day life can feel overwhelming and isolating! You might be questioning reaching out for help or whether or not therapy is right for you. Regardless of what you might be experiencing, I believe in the power of authenticity, honesty, and humor and providing clients a safe and welcoming space to start feeling more fulfilled and connected. I utilize a client centered approach to therapy and believe in holding a welcoming, collaborative, and open space for all. I value individualizing my approach to therapy with clients in their journey to find stability, fulfillment, and a values-driven life.

  • I have a passion for athlete mental health and well-being, and work with both athletes and non-athletes. I specialize in a variety of topics including anxiety, OCD, depression, eating disorders and body image concerns, perfectionism, sports performance, and life transitions.

    Treatment modalities include: Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention, Strengths-Based, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, and Narrative Therapy.

    In my free time I enjoy reading, cooking and baking, traveling, yoga, and spending time with my husband and baby. We have an ornery dog named Scout and like spending time together outside at local forest preserves.

  • I received my Bachelor’s in Public Health from Beloit College where I also played two years of collegiate volleyball. I then received my Master’s degree in Counseling with a specialization in Clinical Mental Health from Adler University in Chicago. While completing my Master’s degree, I worked in a residential treatment program for adults and adolescents experiencing concerns related to eating disorders in downtown Chicago. Throughout my practicum and internship experience during my Master’s program, I worked in a partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient level of care working with adults and adolescents experiencing concerns related to mood or anxiety disorders and eating disorders. Upon graduation from Adler, I’ve worked in an outpatient, private practice setting.
