About

My experience and educational background are directly related and have provided me with a well-rounded background in Therapy. I am a Military veteran with 30 plus years of experience working with patients in psychiatric hospitals, state mental health facilities, Illinois Department of Corrections, and in private practice. I am currently licensed to practice in Illinois, Kansas and Georgia. I also provide Tele-health service to Military members overseas (OCONUS).

My personal and professional goal is building close bonds with my clients. I enjoy doing this by using humor, genuine care, and respect of each individual to create a serene therapeutic environment. Through emphatic listening, relaxation exercises, cognitive behavior therapy, clients are able to persevere in pursuance of achieving goals. I offer individual therapy session to adults. I work with clients experiencing life transitions with depression, anxiety, grief, loss, trauma, and addictions. I work in-depth with Military families to assess and treat behavioral health problems that result from the trauma of war. I use CBT, Psychodynamics, EMDR, and Mindfulness.
