Welcome to Rooted Presence Counseling
This is a space for slowing down, listening inward, and gently returning to yourself.
Here, healing is not forced or rushed. It is something remembered through presence, awareness, and the quiet unfolding of your own story.
Whether you are navigating anxiety, trauma, identity, or disconnection, this work invites you into a more rooted, grounded, and embodied way of being.
I am a licensed clinical social worker offering pagan and spiritually-integrated therapy in Chicago and virtually across Illinois. My work supports adults who feel drawn to holistic, intuitive, or earth-based ways of understanding themselves and are seeking trauma-informed, nervous system-aware care that honors both the psychological and the sacred.
Who This Work Is For
This work may be a good fit for you if you are:
Seeking a pagan or spiritually-integrated therapist
Drawn to nature-based, intuitive, or nontraditional spiritual paths
Navigating anxiety, trauma, burnout, or life transitions
Highly sensitive, empathic, or neurodiverse
Exploring identity, meaning, or a deeper sense of self
Wanting therapy that integrates mind, body, and spirit
Spiritually Integrated & Pagan-Inclusive Therapy
Therapy with me is not about prescribing beliefs or imposing a framework.
Instead, it is about creating space for your existing spiritual orientation—whether rooted in pagan traditions, earth-based practices, intuitive knowing, or personal meaning—to be acknowledged and integrated into your healing process.
This may include:
Exploring symbolism, archetypes, or personal narrative
Connecting with nature as a grounding and regulating resource
Honoring cycles, transitions, and phases of change
Integrating spiritual identity with psychological healing
This work remains grounded, ethical, and trauma-informed, allowing spirituality to be supportive rather than overwhelming or bypassing.
My Approach
My approach is integrative, holistic, and somatic.
I draw from evidence-based practices while also honoring the deeper layers of meaning, story, and lived experience that shape who you are. Therapy becomes a space where both the mind and body are included, and where insight and embodiment exist together.
I believe that healing happens not only through understanding, but through presence.
Together, we move at your pace, gently exploring patterns, building awareness, and creating space for change that feels sustainable and aligned.
Background & Training
My work is grounded in both clinical training and integrative practices that support healing across mind and body.
I hold a Master of Social Work from Aurora University and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Illinois. My clinical foundation is rooted in trauma-informed care, nervous system awareness, and evidence-based therapeutic approaches.
In addition to traditional training, I have been a professional Reiki Master Teacher and Reiki Educator for a decade. I have also completed both Basic and Advanced levels of N.E.T. (Neuro Emotional Technique), as well as a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training (YTT-200) through SoderWorld Wellness Center and Sattvic Sage Ayurveda & Yoga.
These experiences inform a holistic, body-aware approach to therapy, allowing space for both psychological and embodied healing.
What I Help With
I support adults navigating:
Anxiety and mood-related concerns
ADHD and focus-related challenges
Childhood trauma and complex trauma
Burnout and nervous system overwhelm
Life transitions and identity exploration
Emotional regulation and self-understanding
Pagan & nature-based religious and spiritual concerns
What Sessions May Look Like
Sessions are collaborative, grounded, and paced with care.
We may explore patterns, emotions, and experiences through conversation, while also incorporating somatic awareness and nervous system regulation.
This is not a space for pressure or performance. Here, you are met as you are, with respect for your capacity and readiness for growth.
