As an African American woman from Chicago, I understand how one can be impacted by their surroundings and how gaining new experiences can teach one how to maneuver through life's challenges.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 7 years of experience providing therapy to adults and adolescents. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, and trauma recovery, helping clients navigate life’s challenges with compassion and understanding. My goal is to create a safe, collaborative space where clients can explore emotions, rediscover strengths, and begin building lasting emotional wellness.
I earned my Master’s in Child and Family Social Work from the University of Illinois. My therapeutic approach integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, strengths-based strategies, and trauma-informed care to help clients build resilience, self-awareness, and meaningful change in their lives.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel intimidating, but it’s an act of courage and self-care. Together, we’ll work toward creating balance, healing, and growth. My goal is to help you feel seen, understood, and empowered to live with confidence and emotional clarity.

Psychologists are mental health professionals that provide psychotherapy services and diagnoses for their clients. They have more research-focused training than most therapists, as they are more medically educated and receive a more general education about therapeutic approaches and theory.
Thriveworks psychologists in Evergreen Park, IL provide standard psychotherapy services, tailoring treatment to each client and their unique concerns. However, they can also provide diagnoses to clients when appropriate, something that therapists and counselors cannot do.
