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

Our first session is all about getting to know you—your story, your challenges, and what brought you here. It’s a chance for us to explore your goals and see how I can best support you. I’ll also walk you through what to expect from therapy, answer any questions, and set a foundation for our work together. This is a space where you can be yourself, feel heard, and know you’re not alone in this journey.

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

I help clients uncover their inner strengths and use them as tools for meaningful change. My approach creates a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences—whether rooted in the past, present, or future. With both personal and professional insight into the complexities of first responder families and the BIPOC community, I understand the unique challenges these roles bring. Together, we’ll identify patterns, build resilience, and develop strategies that align with your goals, so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, lost, or stretched thin by the demands of life? Maybe you’re the one everyone depends on, yet you’re left wondering, “Who am I outside of these roles?” I specialize in helping individuals—especially first responder spouses—navigate anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions. At Selah Therapy, I offer a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), talk therapy, and Christian counseling upon request. Our work together will focus on uncovering the patterns that keep you feeling stuck, so you can rediscover your sense of peace and purpose. Whether you struggle with managing your emotions, supporting a loved one, or simply need a space to be heard, my goal is to walk with you as you reclaim your joy and strength. If you’re ready to take a moment for yourself, reflect on what truly matters, and move forward with intention, let’s connect. With telehealth sessions available across Illinois, support is just a call away. You don’t have to do this alone—your next step toward healing starts here.
