About

I received my Bachelors from Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida. After graduating from Rollins I moved to Denver, Colorado, where I worked in a corporate environment and was introduced to various mentors who led me to realize I wanted to work in the counseling field. I moved back to my home state of Illinois to attend graduate school at the University of Illinois, Chicago. Since earning my Masters degree in Social Work, I've worked as a school social worker and as a therapist helping children, parents, and families overcome difficulties.  I founded TherapyLink in 2018, and have enjoyed every moment of building a private therapeutic practice. 

Early in my career, I worked with high school-aged students and developed a passion for helping individuals transitioning into adulthood. After working with high school students, I was given the opportunity to join a therapeutic day school setting where I worked directly with parents in helping them navigate the difficult behaviors of their children, both at school and in their homes. My work with parents naturally led me to work closely with adults dealing with various stressors. I found that it was very common for caregivers to feel as though they were mentally “overbooked.”  Trying to maintain some sense of life balance while juggling careers, family, friends, and parenting challenges can be very stress-inducing.  Using evidence-based practices, I help individuals process and change unwanted circumstances in their lives, find a better balance, and enhance family systems.
