About
I am a licensed clinical professional counselor licensed in Illinois with over 8 years of experience having worked as a therapist in private practice, emergency behavioral health, and community mental health. I have worked with clients with a wide range of presenting issues, including grief and loss, anxiety, depression, trauma, self-harm, behavioral modification, anger management, suicidal ideation, LGBTQ+, gender dysphoria, and self-esteem issues. I have certifications as a certified clinical trauma professional, certified first responder counselor, and am trained in EMDR therapy. I have worked with all ages, including adolescents, adults and older adults, including those with physical ailments and chronic pain.
My counseling style is warm and direct. I treat all clients with respect, dignity, and without judgment. A diagnosis is not what you are or who you are. It is something you are working through and learning to cope with, and I hope to be able to help you on that journey. My therapeutic approach combines cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and solution focused therapy.
It takes strength to reach out and ask for help. I strive to ensure that all of my clients feel comfortable in therapy, and I hope you find that to be the case. Therapy should be a trusting and comfortable relationship. When you are ready to take the step towards support, I am ready to help you take that first step. Thank you for putting your trust in me.
