It has always been my mission to help people self-actualize and live their life to the fullest.

​

My first career was in training, leadership development and human resources. After opening a successful life-coaching business in Chicago, I became passionate about helping people address mental health symptoms which created barriers to the success they were searching for.  After obtaining a second master's degree in Mental Health Counseling, I found my niche working with OCD and anxiety disorders while working in a community mental health center. I was fortunate to receive training in ERP early in my career.

​

My mom suffered with OCD at a time when treatment wasn't readily available. She was a silent warrior of a disorder that is still misunderstood today. In my twenties, I experienced purely obsessional OCD. I was fortunate that the episode diminished naturally, and now I know how to handle triggers when they arise.

​

I love to see the changes that happen over the course of treatment, and to see how brave people are, even when they haven’t yet realized it. The effects can be life changing.
