Hello, i am EMDR trained, certified alcohol and other drugs (CADC) counselor and certified clinical trauma therapist based in Illinois.

I work collaboratively with clients redefining mental healthcare and teaching skills to independently manage symptoms for long-term wellness.

First session

Our first session will be introductions, establishing expectations and goals. Next, we will discuss presenting issues/concerns which will help us collaboratively develop treatment plan to work through and making adjustments as needed.

Strengths

Working with a diverse client group for over 15 years, acquiring specialized trainings such as EMDR, clinical trauma as well as addiction studies, has uniquely equipped me with deeper insight to successfully connect with and help clients navigate life's challenges and find healing.

Ideal clients

Feeling overwhelmed? tired of "faking it", holding it all together? making everyone else happy but not getting what you need? Let's connect and figure out how to make YOU a priority. Whether you are struggling with alcohol, drugs, other behavioral addiction, depression, suicidal thoughts, trauma, anxiety, grief or lifestyle changes, let's connect and collaboratively work towards growth and resilience.

Treatment methods

Trauma-Focused CBT

Are you ready to heal from underlying and suppressed traumas? I am a trauma-informed therapist who has spent the past 12 years working collaboratively with clients with high clinical acuity, recent hospitalization, upsetting diagnosis, equipping them with the skills to navigate life's challenges, and accelerate their healing.

She patiently listened. Asked clarifying questions to get deeper insights. A great listening ear with a good sense of humor.

I really enjoyed my friend session. Im about to schedule my second one. Ive had some lemons in terms of therapists. But I’m hopeful for this match up.
