Our past influences our present, and through therapy, we can explore these connections, gain insight, and create a path toward healing and growth. By understanding how o...

I am currently in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at Northwestern University pursuing a Masters in Counseling.

Resilience is often misunderstood as being stoic through hard times. However, research in child development offers a more compassionate perspective: resilience begins with at least one emotionally available caregiver. This truth extends across our lifespans; the more emotionally attuned people we have in our lives who can co-regulate us and hold space for our feelings, the greater our capacity for growth. Over time, this internal work helps us cultivate a rooted sense of self and navigate life’s...

Do you feel exhausted from trying to hold everything together? Maybe you have always been the responsible one or the person others rely on. You pushed through stress, anxiety, and family challenges because you felt like you had to. At first it seemed manageable, but now the pressure feels heavier and harder to carry. On the outside you appear confident and put together. Inside you might feel overwhelmed, burnt out, or worried that you cannot keep this up much longer. Wanting a break does n...
I have supported young adults as undergrads and graduate students in balancing stress, anxiety, depression, work, relationships and family conflicts for over 20 years.
