Who I Am, What I Do
I believe that all of our life experiences, good and bad, help to shape the people that we are, and are becoming. I am a former Chicago Public Schools teacher and am experienced at building connections with youth and adolescents. I also worked at Thresholds, a community mental health organization, where I helped individuals navigate the intersection of Mental health and substance use. I feel privileged to now use my experiences to provide counseling services to kids, adolescents, adults, couples, and families in Evanston. My approach helps people see the connections between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors allowing them to make useful changes to enhance their lives.
I work from a cognitive-behavioral perspective but incorporate several other evidence-based theoretical perspectives into my counseling.
My life outside the office includes spending time with my loved ones; improving my health by biking, running, and doing yoga; gardening; and communing with nature.
