Great to meet you! I've been helping people sleep better since 2002. I'm a Licensed Psychologist (IL) and a Registered Sleep Technologist (RPSGT), specializing in therapy for insomnia and circadian rhythm disorders.
Most of my clients have struggled with chronic or acute insomnia and feel stuck in the cycle — they've tried all the usual tips and tricks, but nothing seems to work. I take a thorough approach because easy fixes rarely solve sleep problems. I start by understanding everything that may be affecting your sleep, then build a plan around you — not a one-size-fits-all formula.
As a Licesnded Clinical Professional Counselor, I believe that meeting clients where they are and providing holistic care is the key to a healthy wellness journey. As experts of our own lives, we often hold the key to unlocking the solutions we seek. Therapy emerges as a valuable tool, facilitating the exploration of our thoughts, emotions, and beliefs, leading us to the resolution we crave. My mission is to offer a secure and supportive space throughout your counseling experience.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who believes therapy should feel real, human, and grounded in honest conversation. With experience in community mental health, treatment courts, group work, and clinical supervision, in addition to working with individuals navigating trauma, identity, and personal change. I also teach and mentor future counselors while researching the psychological experiences of individuals living with vitiligo. I bring a little bit of humor into therapy, because let’s face it, in this day and age a little bit of laughing takes stress off our already hectic lives; though when it is time to get serious, we will address all and any issues that may be hindering your pathways of life. My philosophy: “people are more than their labels, and growth begins when people feel seen, heard, and respected.”
Education and Credentials: I hold a Master of Science Ed. from Purdue University, where I specialized in clinical mental health and addiction.

My academic background, combined with my extensive clinical experience, equips me to address a wide range of psychological and emotional concerns.
