A place where you can get your mental health needs met in a professional, relaxed, friendly place offering the services you need and want.
We want you to find the process simple, approachable, and affirming. We want you to understand your mental health treatment process every step of the way so you feel in control of your therapy process. We also want you to feel that our door is truly open to you and that you know what to expect from us at the Collective.
I found that I simply could not meet all of the needs of my community myself and that there were gaps in service. I wanted to bring together top professionals, like minded and forward thinkers, to create a space where people can have all of their mental health needs met in one space. The Collective was born with this idea.

The Collective was born with this idea.
As a group of mental health professionals and innovators, we seek to create a space of innovation in our services that are evidenced based, warm & friendly, and client focused. Together we are best equipped to meet the mental health needs of our community.
We started the Collective to create a mental health community where people can find providers for themselves and their family members for now and in the future. We value inclusion, community, education, evidence based treatment, and holistic treatment.
My mission is to make the mental health experience accessible, approachable, and easy to understand by educating my clients and the community. I provide high quality therapeutic services and share real, tangible ways to improve your mental health to live a fulfilling life.
I began this work after spending many years attending and working at a residential camp where I grew passionate about working with people. I pursued my undergraduate degree in Social Policy at Northwestern University and my Masters in Social Work at The University of Chicago. I’ve been providing clinical social work and therapy for over twenty years. During the pandemic, I saw a need to destigmatize mental health issues and began posting educational videos on mental health issues. As a result, my work has expanded to include private practice, community education, and advocacy work. In addition to my work at the Collective, I have sixteen years experience serving as Adjunct Faculty Member at Washington University's Brown School of Social Work.

As both a therapist and a mom myself, I get how tough it can be to juggle all the roles life throws at you — especially during life transitions such as pregnancy, postpartum, or caring for a loved one. My approach to therapy is warm, down-to-earth, and strengths-based. I aim to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and never judged — a place to breathe, reflect, and figure things out at your own pace.
I work with teens and adults on a range of concerns, including: anxiety, depression, chronic illness, life transitions, and caregiver stress. Over the years, I’ve developed a passion for working with women navigating the journey of motherhood — whether you're preparing for a new baby, adjusting after birth, struggling with infertility or just feeling a bit lost in the chaos of it all. I’ve completed advanced training through Postpartum Support International (PSI), and bring both clinical knowledge and lived experience to this work. As a mom myself, I understand how isolating and overwhelming this season can be — and how powerful it is to have someone in your corner. Whether you’re feeling anxious, burnt out, or like you’re not yourself anymore, I’m here to help you reconnect with who you are and find a way forward that feels right for you.
Before joining the Collective, I worked in both inpatient and outpatient hospital settings as well as schools– supporting individuals and families through a wide range of mental health and life challenges. That experience continues to shape my approach — helping me meet clients where they are and collaborate on realistic, meaningful goals.
I also love supporting caregivers and parents as they work through burnout and stress — helping them show up for their families in a way that feels sustainable and true to themselves.
I’m proud to be part of the team at the Collective, where we work together to support clients and their families from a holistic, multidisciplinary approach.

My career has been shaped by a deep belief in the power of relationships, self-awareness, and the mind-body connection. My work is rooted in evidence-based practices and takes an intuitive and relational approach, tailoring therapy to meet the unique needs of each client. One of the most fulfilling aspects of my job is helping clients feel truly seen and understood, especially those who have struggled to find a space where they feel safe enough to express emotions openly.
I have worked in community mental health, schools (K-6), and a wellness center, and each experience has reinforced my passion for integrating mindfulness and emotional regulation into therapy. I work with children, adolescents, and adults, supporting clients through anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, life transitions, and more. My approach is not just about symptom management—it’s about helping people build mental strength and resiliency to navigate life's challenges and live meaningful lives.

Throughout my career, I have worked in diverse settings, yet trauma remains the common thread. From answering crisis calls to supporting survivors of domestic and sexual violence, guiding families through high-risk pregnancies and fetal surgery, and walking alongside parents of children who have experienced abuse—each experience has deepened my commitment to healing. My own personal journey has also fueled my passion for addressing workplace burnout and trauma.
I believe resilience is an inherent part of all of us, but under constant stress and exhaustion, it can feel fragile. When mental health struggles take hold, we often lose sight of our true selves. My role is to help you reconnect with those parts of yourself—or perhaps discover them for the first time. In our sessions, I take a gentle yet direct approach, fostering self-compassion while building a supportive, therapeutic relationship that serves as the foundation for growth and healing. Together, we can show up as our authentic, imperfect selves.
Providing individual therapy to men and women, I offer an integrative framework that centers on empowerment, self-awareness, and nervous system regulation. I offer day and evening hours, virtual and in person. I am excited for you to show up as your imperfect self and help you create a more authentic life.
