Hello! I am a Christian Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based out of Central Illinois. Life is a journey, and as with all journeys there are ups and downs, struggles and hardships. I am here to help you manage the journey of life. When you feel stuck, I am here to help you get back up and on your way again. Through a Christian lens, I will help you find peace in life.
In our first session, we will get to know each other better. I want to hear your story - what brings you to therapy, what are you expectations, etc. I want to know as much about you as I can. Sometimes just telling the story of your life or describing what is bothering you can be helpful. Once I have heard your story we will work together on coming up with goals for therapy.
I like to bring faith and spirituality into counseling as much as my clients want. Oftentimes clinicians only focus on the physical and mental aspect of their clients, but I think they miss a big part when they overlook the spiritual aspect. I am also a very positive person. I feel I am one of the greatest cheerleaders for my clients.
I have experience with a wide-range of clients, however I am currently focusing on adults (18+) who feel stuck and lost, relationship issues, work struggles, and just being overwhelmed.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I often find people are having difficulties in life because of their faulty thinking and behaviors. These lead to distortions in thinking where people "catastrophize" their life or have an all or nothing thought process. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients switch their thoughts to more positive thoughts which in turn changes behavior.
Christian Counseling
Christ is the ultimate healer. Through the Word of God and the Holy Spirit we will delve into life's problems to search for solutions.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
We will come up with solutions to life's problems. Sometimes the solution is right in front of you, but life is in the way. I will help guide you to that solution.

You can tell how much impact someone can have on your life in a short amount of time, especially when they open up to you to build trust. With Justin, my first session was just that. The confidence and excitement I have to continue with our sessions is a breath of fresh air in my life. I can't wait.

Just off our first meeting, I know I will accomplish my mental health goals with the help and guidance of Justin. I appreciate and value his relationship with God, as I grow in faith this was important to me. Justin listens, provides insight and a positive attitude towards the struggles coming up during the session. I am excited to get my mind back! I look forward to meeting again Justin!
