About me

As a licensed clinical social worker in Illinois, I bring over two decades of dedicated experience helping individuals navigate complex emotional and behavioral landscapes. I specialize in addressing communication challenges, anger management, feelings of guilt and shame, addictions, and supporting personal growth through compassionate, faith-informed counseling.

I understand that growth and healing are deeply personal, and I'm committed to creating a supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences. My approach integrates evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a sensitive, Christian-centered perspective, allowing individuals to work through addiction, relational difficulties, and emotional barriers.

My goal is to walk alongside you, offering support that respects your unique story and spiritual beliefs. Together, we can develop meaningful strategies for personal transformation, healing, and emotional resilience.

Great therapist. He has been helping me work through lots of past and current trauma I had hidden deep down and identity and core belief issues that have been hindering me from walking in the freedom God has for me. Some of the unlocks we’ve gotten have changed my life so far. His help has truly been a blessing from God.
