I’m the founder of Oak and Magnolia Therapy, based in Illinois, and I help adults navigate life’s many challenges. I work with individuals on relationships, parenting, marriage, as well as anxiety, ADHD, trauma, low self-esteem, and career or life transitions. My approach is grounded in both mind and body, blending cognitive and somatic strategies to create a personalized path for growth and healing.

I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Iowa in 2022 and have worked in a variety of settings, from inpatient and outpatient hospital programs to private practice and school-based clinical support.

When I’m not working with clients, you’ll often find me playing with my dog Roger, cooking and baking, listening to music, or making art — small ways I stay grounded and inspired in everyday life.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel big, and I look forward to supporting you as you begin this journey!
