About

I am licensed in the State of Illinois since 2018 as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. I graduated with my master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Argosy University, Chicago, Illinois and earned credentialing as a National Certified Counselor through the National Board of Certified Counselors.

My experience is rich and includes treating a vast number of different issues serving in the mental health field since 2015. I have worked at the emergency room level with crisis patients, inpatient crisis level, provided care through a psychosocial rehabilitation facility for the chronically mentally ill, for women and adolescent females at a residential facility that treats Mood disorders & the co-occurring diagnosis, Eating Disorders, Trauma, and Addiction.

I am currently a private practicing therapist for the last 1-1/2 years. I treat both Adult Men and Women as well as adolescents utilizing a variety of knowledge and experience with CBT, or other evidence based theoretical orientations such as DBT, and ACT. I do specialize in treating those who have experienced physical, mental, emotional, and other forms of trauma through Trauma Informed Therapy.

As your therapist, I believe success in therapy is largely based on the rapport and trust built within the therapeutic relationship. I am warm, empathetic and non-discriminatory with my clients. I provide a safe and caring atmosphere where trust and rapport can be built. Together we will create a plan that best suits your needs and goals. It takes courage and strength for creating lasting and meaningful changes in your life through therapy. Whether you are just beginning your journey or have started and stopped along the way - I am here to personally assist you and support you on your continuing journey! I look forward to working with you!
