My name is J.J. and I received my Master’s Degree in Applied Family and Child Studies with a Specialization in Marriage and Family Therapy in May of 2012 from Northern Illinois University. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist licensed by the State of Illinois. Along with my licensure, I'm also a Clinically Certified Trauma Professional (CCTP). A CCTP understands the effects of trauma on the brain and knows proficient methods to treat the trauma.
I was born with spinal muscular atrophy which was supposed to kill me by the age of two. However, I'm 30+ years old and ready to bring this life and professional experience to you! While studying at Northern Illinois, I trained under several leading relationship therapists and now I am able to bring this knowledge into your life. I also have 10+ years of experience working with people in a human service setting and have made it a priority to ensure every person receives the services needed to live a fulfilling life. I have worked with many different individuals and would enjoy the chance to work with you.

I was very nervous starting out as I was worried about what the therapist would think of me and my issues, but J.J. immediately made me feel comfortable by never showing any judgment, just understanding. J.J. is immensely helpful. I never felt judged and always felt listened to. He has been very helpful with my family issues, relationship issues, and handling my anger and judgment of others. All in all, I would extremely recommend J.J. as someone who listens compassionately and truly cares about your well-being.

The guy knows his stuff and he wants you to know it too. He is so genuine yet very efficient. I’m happy with the way things are going so far.

I've been working with JJ for several months and have found him to be a great therapist. He provided me with the support that I needed and also taught me some techniques that I can use going forward. He is friendly and quick to respond to messages outside of the sessions, which has always been a massive help. Thanks to him I am able to carry on with a new outlook on my situation. Thanks a million, JJ! :)

JJ was great. I was going through a really rough time in my life, and JJ guided me through it. He doesn’t judge, and gives solid advice.
