About

I have over 15 years of clinical experience working with clients of various ages and cultural backgrounds. I’ve provided individual, family and group psychotherapy in a wide range of settings including rehab facilities, community centers, homes, hospital and outpatient settings. My skill-set includes crisis Intervention, anger management, mood and anxiety issues, substance use and other compulsive behaviors, trauma-related concerns and personality disorders. Education & credentials: I am a fully licensed clinician with a B.A. from North Park University and a Master’s Degree focused in Counseling Psychology from Roosevelt University in Chicago. I’ve also received certification in both partner violence and adult sexual assault/trauma counseling. Philosophy & Approach: My personal values are mainly centered around health & wellness, humor and self-awareness. I encourage personal growth by helping clients self-reflect, expand their perspective and utilize individual strengths & resources. Clients learn to change the way they relate, think and talk about their issues. In therapy, different approaches are personalized to meet client needs. Client’s goals are met by utilizing a variety of CBT, DBT and ACT therapeutic strategies. I also incorporate an integrative approach and emphasize daily movement, balanced nutrition & adequate sleep in the treatment planning process.
