Do you ever feel like life is one hurdle after another? I am a IL licensed therapist with several years of experience working with children, teens and adults and I believe I can assist you break down these barriers. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression or life transitions, I provide a person-centered approach that emphasizes strengths and understanding of how symptoms developed so that they can reduced or eliminated. At times I introduce art therapy exercises to help clients express themselves. I have earned certification in Addiction Counseling so I can also guide teens and adults achieve sobriety from alcohol.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first session I will primarily be getting to know my client and helping them to begin to form a trusting relationship. Starting therapy can be an anxiety provoking time; it takes bravery and hope.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I believe my greatest strength is helping clients feel comfortable opening up in sessions. I ensure clients that they can share difficult experiences and feelings at their own pace.

Person-centered (Rogerian)
In working with clients, I strive to provide focused, empathic listening to clients concerns. I work collaboratively to alleviate emotional pain and overcome obstacles in their life.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
When using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) I work with clients to identify and replace distorted thoughts that may limit their everyday life.
Psychodynamic
With clients who need or desire longer term therapy, I assist clients in recognizing how their past experiences influence current behavior and values.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
When warranted, I use Mindfulness with clients to guide them in staying in the present moment so as to ease chronic or acute anxiety, worries and stress.
