Helping moms in Illinois heal, grow, and rediscover their worth—because your story matters, too.
More about
our brand
I founded Olive Branch Mental Health after spending years in executive roles within the non-profit sector. I often say, "I climbed the ladder to the top—but hated the view." That realization led me to make a bold shift: from juggling a few part-time therapy clients to fully embracing my passion for therapy and speaking full-time.
As a licensed therapist with nearly 15 years of experience, I specialize in trauma-informed care, working primarily with women who are ready to reconnect with themselves and reclaim their worth. At Olive Branch, we’re extending a hand to those seeking meaningful change. Too often, women—especially moms—become lost in the needs of others. This space was created to help you put your needs back on the list and rediscover who you are.
While my one-on-one caseload is currently limited, I'm passionate about reaching more women in meaningful ways. That’s why I created "Mama, You Got This"—a free newsletter packed with real talk, self-care tips, mental health support, and encouragement for moms navigating the daily chaos. It’s a space to feel seen, supported, and reminded that you're not alone.
In addition to therapy, I bring nearly 20 years of experience in public speaking—offering keynotes, trainings, and workshops on topics like mental health, trauma, leadership development, and personal empowerment.
Let’s create space for your story to grow.
