Life isn’t always easy. Sometimes, even the strongest people amongst us need a little bit of help to work through some of life’s more challenging problems. Everyone has battles to fight and hurdles to overcome at some point. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, or any other issue, you should know that there is hope for a better tomorrow. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am here to support you in this journey and help you get started towards the path of unburdening and healing.
I am licensed in Illinois, Maine, and Tennessee with 13 years of professional work experience from working in a variety of environments in the mental health field. As a therapist, I utilize an eclectic model and draw from a broad base of theoretical orientations. I prefer to assess each client's needs and meet them where they are; utilizing best practice for their specific concerns. I can help you address your stress and anxiety, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & depression. I believe you are the expert of your story and have many of your own strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you.
