I will support you with empathy and understanding. We all come from different walks of life and I find it’s important to meet people where they are. I will take into account your life experiences, background, and personality when developing a treatment plan, collaborating with you to identify your needs and goals, while empowering you to achieve a more satisfying and fulfilled life. I will help you gain insight into your stress, as well as negative thought patterns and habits and help you implement cognitive behavioral skills to change them. I graduated with a master’s degree in counseling from Loyola University Chicago and have nearly 20 years of clinical experience working in a variety of settings, treating clients of all ages who have experienced depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief, low self worth, relationships issues, poor boundaries, and more. I have 4 dogs, 3 mini goldendoodles and a golden retriever I rescued from Turkey.

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

In our first session together, we'll start with introductions and then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help us collaborate on an individualized plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

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

Empathy and understanding, combined with mindfulness, motivational interviewing, cognitive behavior therapy, and ways to manage stressors/anxiety help me to identify the root cause of your challenges and create an individualized plan that leads to measurable progress.
