Trauma Informed Care:
Trauma-informed care shifts the focus from “What’s wrong with you?” to “What happened to you?” A trauma-informed approach takes into consideration the whole life of the individual, past and present to provide better care and a healing orientation. Core principals are: Safety, Trustworthiness and Transparency, Peer Support, Empowerment and Humility and Responsiveness. For more information please click on this link:

At Resilient Counseling, I believe in a holistic approach to mental health — one that empowers you to navigate life’s challenges with resilience and strength.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Interpersonal/Organizational Communication from Loyola University Chicago and a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from The Illinois School of Professional Psychology in Chicago. Over the past 15+ years, I’ve had the privilege of helping adults move through difficult life transitions, working in both public and private sector settings. I’m licensed to provide psychotherapy and mental health counseling in California and Illinois, and I’m a Nationally Certified Counselor.
Multiculturalism and inclusion aren’t just professional values for me — they’re central to how I show up in my practice every day.
Specialized Training
To deepen my work with trauma, I completed a Certificate in Traumatic Stress Studies through Bessel van der Kolk, MD’s Trauma Research Foundation in Boston, MA. I’m also trained in DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) and ACT-informed approaches, and I’m committed to providing affirming therapeutic care to all clients.
