I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois. I have worked in the private practice setting for the past 7 years offering individual and couples’ counseling. Prior to this, I worked 20 years in a substance abuse and mental health facility as a primary and assessment counselor. I am in recovery with over 20 years of sobriety and believe my personal experience allows for greater insight and understanding especially for those struggling with addictions.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first session often times consists of rapport building and discussing expectations. This may look different for different clients reiterating the importance of meeting clients where they are at.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I recognize the courage it takes to seek help and believe it is a privilege to be a part of another person's healing journey.
