A backyard garden scene with a round table set for outdoor dining, surrounded by white wooden chairs. The table has a vase of flowers, a loaf of bread, and a cloth napkin. There's a large straw hat on one of the chairs, lush greenery, flowering plants, and a tree providing shade.

welcome in.

Growing up, my family spent summers at a small lake town outside of Chicago. A place where people gathered, slowed down, had real conversations, and enjoyed each other's company. When I started thinking about what I wanted my work in mental health to look like, this place kept coming back to me.  

Not a stuffy, clinical waiting room.

Not a wellness brand trying to sell you something.

Just a space that felt human, warm, and genuinely helpful.

Everything at The Cottage is grounded in six pillars:

Evidence-based care — real clinical frameworks and research-backed tools, not trends.

Community — because none of us were meant to navigate this alone.

Holistic health — mind, body, and nervous system, because everything is connected.

Sense of purpose — understanding what drives and motivates you at the deepest level.

Resilience strategies— tools that work for real life, not just in theory.

And yes, having a good time — because healing does not always have to be heavy
