I’m a licensed therapist with 13 years of diverse clinical experience helping you navigate your life’s challenges with greater ease, self-awareness, and meaning.
I specialize in working with women experiencing hormonal shifts, whether due to perimenopause or menopause. I also work with individuals navigating relationship challenges, particularly in polyamorous relationship structures. Whether you’re facing stress, identity shifts, relationship struggles, or personal growth obstacles, I offer a safe, non-judgmental space to explore and heal.
I believe therapy is more than just problem-solving—it’s about empowerment, self-discovery, and growth. I draw from several evidence-based modalities to provide tailored support, including:
-Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Helping you develop psychological flexibility, embrace emotions, and take meaningful action aligned with your values.
-Imago Dialogue: A powerful approach to improving communication, deepening intimacy, and resolving relationship conflicts.
-Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional: Providing knowledgeable and affirming support for individuals navigating intimacy, sexual concerns, and relationship dynamics.
With a background as an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, I take a holistic approach to therapy—recognizing the deep connection between mental health, physical well-being, and emotional resilience. True healing goes beyond just addressing thoughts and emotions; it involves nurturing the body, understanding how food and lifestyle impact mood and energy, and aligning all aspects of your life to support your overall well-being.
PFLAG DuPage emerged from a grassroots need in 2004 when dedicated members of the Hinsdale chapter recognized the importance of establishing a local support network in the far western suburbs of Chicago. For over two decades, the Wheaton, IL-based chapter has consistently gathered every third Sunday to provide compassionate support to LGBTQ people and those who love them. Born from the national PFLAG movement—founded in 1972 by a mother's simple act of public support for her gay son—PFLAG DuPage carries forward this legacy of leading with love. The organization serves as a caring community for individuals dealing with challenges related to sexual orientation, gender identity, and family relationships, offering a judgment-free space where parents, siblings, friends, and LGBTQ individuals can find understanding and connection. What sets PFLAG DuPage apart is its unwavering commitment to three core values: providing genuine emotional support, delivering quality educational programs that build understanding, and advocating fiercely for equal rights and societal affirmation. The chapter's volunteer-driven approach reflects its authentic community roots, ensuring that every interaction is grounded in genuine care and confidentiality. For anyone seeking acceptance, information, or friendship while navigating identity issues, PFLAG DuPage represents a safe harbor within the Wheaton community.
