About

I am a licensed clinician in the states of IL and FL. I have over 10 years of experience working as a counselor and university professor. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting difficulties, trauma, OCD, and ADHD. I also have a PhD in International Psychology with a trauma focus, so I understand and apply culturally competent techniques to all of my client interactions. In addition, my master's degree is from a seminary so I can also provide faith-based counseling if requested.

My counseling style is engaging and kind. I believe in treating all people with dignity and compassion . My approach combines Rogerian, Solution-Focused, and Trauma-Focused CBT. I also use Narrative theory and Motivational Interviewing as appropriate. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!
