I have over 20 years decades of experience working as a licensed therapist in Illinois. My experience includes working with adults in a variety of settings. I have worked in inpatient treatment, partial hospitalization treatment, community-based services and outpatient settings. I have also provided telehealth therapy services for many years. My roles have afforded me many opportunities to advocate for clients and provide groundwork for clients advocating for themselves.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

I view the first session as the start of building a therapeutic relationship. I work with clients to develop individual treatment goals and treatment plans to improve their sense of well-being.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As a therapist, I accept a person's reality regardless of how someone is feeling or reacting. The goal of this approach is to meet a client where they are versus telling how and where to be. This is accomplished through providing an environment that assists clients in gaining a better understanding and coping strategies to manage thoughts, feelings and behaviors to improve day to day living.
