LCPC, 20 years of experience
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois. I specialize in working with adults that feel stuck. Life is busy, overwhelming at times, and constantly changing. I will help you develop skills to cope with anxiety, depression, and life stressors. The goal of treatment is validation and re-focusing on individual strengths in order to improve quality of life. “Courage doesn’t happen when you have all the answers. It happens when you are ready to face the questions you have been avoiding your whole life.” ― Shannon L. Alder How can I help?
In our first session together, we will start with a brief introductions then dive into specific challenges you are facing. We will also discuss strengths and current coping skills. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
I believe in setting realistic expectations for yourself and readjusting your plan for success. I believe in healthy boundaries and strong communication skills which will help you learn how to move with your mood rather than fighting against it. This practice helps to establish beautiful coping skills.
I enjoy helping adults find the answers to the questions they have. To guide and assist with setting realistic expectations and to learn how to be present at this moment for strength. It is wonderful to be a part of the journey of emotional acceptance and improved self-confidence.
I believe in finding personal strength, using the moment to identify patterns, and building effective coping skills.
I believe every person has the potential for growth and is valued.
I believe in identifying emotions and potential triggers and developing skills to work through rather than fight against those emotions.

Jonna is such a great therapist -- I have been so supported by her over the last year and a half, going through new relationship challenges, job changes, and confidence and self-image anxieties. She puts things to me straight, empowers me to take my loved ones at their word, and has helped me see that I contain all the tools I need to be confident and trust in myself. Thank you Jonna!
