Personal Statement
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor for the state of Illinois. I provide services for individuals, couples, and families. My services are of the highest quality, effective, affordable, and most importantly, free of stigma. I recognize it takes courage and strength to face emotional doubts. Freeing up your mind from emotional struggles allows you to focus on your personal, professional, and relationship goals.
It takes great courage and strength to be willing to face emotional doubts. I strive to treat all my clients with respect, support, and dignity regardless of the life difficulties they may be facing. I have great confidence in my skills as a clinician based on my education and experience.
Are you experiencing intense emotions such as deep sadness, frustration, anger, emptiness, feelings of not belonging or having the same value as others, panic, giving up, being in an unhealthy relationship, fighting or arguing with family members, negative thinking, and/or other relationship or life difficulties?
I have helped many clients heal and recover from depression, anxiety, post -traumatic stress, the impact of sexual abuse, and other emotional difficulties.
I accept some insurance plans and provide a sliding scale for those who may be uninsured. Come talk to me. I am here to listen, understand, provide support, encouragement, and overall healing for healthy relationships and an emotionally balanced life.
