Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counsellor (LCPC) based in Illinois. I received my master's from Chicago State University and have been practicing for 6 years. I help clients struggling with depression, anxiety, attachment and abandonment issues, and low self-esteem to learn adaptive coping mechanism to function day-to-day, learn to create secure attachments, and become the best versions of themselves.

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

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, client's goals for therapy, and then assessing what brings the client in for therapy.

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

I have a natural tendency to help people feel safe, to feel heard, and to have hope. Helping you to explore core beliefs which helps you to identify the root cause of your challenges and create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I’ve been using CBT in my practice for the past six years. It’s helped clients challenge reoccurring thoughts and manage their anxiety. We’ll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. We’ll then use that knowledge to change your thinking patterns, which will help you lead a less anxious and stressed life.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

I’ve been using mindfulness-based therapy in my practice for the past six years. It’s helped clients learn to be present and focus on the present moment to become more aware of their internal states and surroundings. Clients have learned how to observe their thoughts, emotions, and other experiences without judgement or reaction.

Psychoanalytic

I’ve been using psychoanalytic approaches in my practice for the past six years. It’s helped clients to understand how experiences in their unconscious may be contributing to current behaviors, thoughts and feeling today. Helping clients to uncover repressed memories, desires, and traumas through techniques like free association and dream analysis

Reality Therapy

I’ve been using Reality therapy in my practice for the past six years. It’s helped clients to understand their behaviors are choices and how to make better choices.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

I’ve been using Solution Focused Brief therapy in my practice for the past six years. It’s helped clients to build solutions to their problems instead of focusing on the problems themselves. It has helped clients to build on their strengths and resources to create practical solutions for their concerns. It has also helped clients develop a vision for their future and determine the skills and resources they need to achieve that vision.
