About
As a licensed professional counselor, I believe every individual has the power to make lasting changes in their life. With a whole-person approach, my clinical work focuses on individual strengths as I work with each client to set personal goals, focusing on what is most relevant to them. I am a compassionate and supportive listener with a reality-based approach. As a registered art therapist, I bring creativity and out-of-the-box thinking to my sessions. And as a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP), I work with clients to help them use the teachings of neuroscience to manage their anxiety and stress. As a working therapist for over 15 years, I earned an M.A. from Marylhurst University in Portland, Oregon, in 2006, and my undergraduate degree in Art Therapy from Spring Hill College in Mobile, Alabama. I am a licensed clinical professional counselor in the State of Illinois. I use a variety of techniques in therapy as each client is unique. This flexibility helps me to find which technique will best match my individualized client.
