Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois. I am also a Certified Case Manager and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I have over 10 years of experience working with people with a wide array of mental health challenges. The most important thing to me is meeting the client where they are at. I am here for you to provide support and guidance toward meeting your treatment goals. My clinical approach is generally based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), but I like to incorporate techniques from various treatment theories, based on the needs of my client. I have found the most success in working with clients looking for a "here and now" approach and who are willing to put in some time and "homework" outside of the counseling session in order to meet treatment goals. I enjoy working with people from diverse populations, including the LGBTQ+ community.I am looking forward to getting started in supporting you to be your best self! **Currently I have limited availability, exclusively in the mornings (CST), please check my schedule to make sure it will align with yours.**

I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Illinois with 22 years of professional work experience.

I use client centered therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, mindfulness based therapy, solution focused therapy, crisis counseling, and can offer a faith based (Christian) approach.

I have worked with a wide array of clients, ranging from young children to geriatric, and have extensive background in the field of child welfare and mental health.

I will tailor our work together to meet your unique and specific needs. Outside of work I enjoy being outdoors, hiking, cycling, walking my golden (Ruby), writing, travel, spending time with my husband, and when available, my adult son.

I am an accomplished Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience providing direct patient care and clinical therapy. I specialize in Crisis Management, trauma, substance abuse, co-occurring, and various other mental and behavioral health concerns. I have experience in comprehensive patient care services, including case management, individual therapy, group therapy, marital and family therapy, anger management, medication management, long-term recovery, and suicide prevention education and intervention. I am skilled with clients with a wide range of concerns from depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, OCD, ADHD/ADD, and many others. I have also assisted those with serious mental health issues such as schizophrenia, bipolar, dissociative disorder, traumatic brain injuries, and those on the spectrum. My approach is often friendly and collaborative. I believe in meeting the client where they are in the moment. I believe it’s imperative everyone is treated with respect, compassion, and understanding. I don't believe a diagnosis makes a person, but I do think that if we can understand a diagnosis and the symptoms, we can identify more individualized solutions. Since no one strategy works for everyone, my approach is eclectic and frequently customized for each scenario and each person. My therapy style is typically warm, and interactive, and believes in meeting the client where they are currently at. I believe that everyone should be treated with dignity, respect, compassion, and understanding. I don't believe in labels but that in understanding a diagnosis that fits the symptoms we may be able to find solutions and peace while moving forward. My approach is eclectic in that not one approach is right for all and therefore my approach is often tailored to the situation and the individual. I often use cognitive behavioral techniques to assist in processing and furthering treatment. Treatment plans will be completed collaboratively as it takes courage to seek counseling and look inside; therefore what you wish to accomplish or where you wish to go is up to you. I want to help you achieve the best version of you that you can be! I look forward to meeting you and taking this journey with you.
