Hello, my name is Walter. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois. I work with men and women who are struggling with addiction issues, anxiety and depression, and related trauma. I also focus on helping couples work through relationship issues. I have worked in the addiction and mental health field for over 25 years helping people who genuinely want to help themselves. I have a strong faith-based and 12-step recovery background both professionally and personally. If you are wanting to get better and looking for insight and tools to do that, I can help. I focus on the premise that changing the way you think can lead to better emotional health and better choices in your behaviors. If you are seeking solutions to your problems and know that the only thing you can ultimately change is yourself, we can find a way of getting there together.

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

Knowledge of how I work, my expectations of you, and what it will take to move through the process of healing, tools to help, and guidance through the process. If interested, how your faith can make a difference in approaching issues and growth.

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

Ability to listen without judgment, empathy without criticism, walk side by side through the murky waters that have led you to this place and time I will work at the pace you are comfortable with and only push when you are ready to move on. You didn't get here overnight and being kind to yourself in making changes may take time, so we will move at your pace.
