I have worked in the mental health and addictions field in both Illinois and Indiana with over 17 plus years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping adults and young adult clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, depression, trauma, acculturational stressors and relationships.
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 proud of you for getting started!
I believe if you truly want things to improve in your life, you will make efforts to make the change. I am here to guide and support you but only you can put in the true work to make it happen.
