Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. I have over twenty seven years working in this field. I am based in Illinois. I enjoy working with adults struggling with depression, anxiety and life stressors. I am known for my compassionate and inquisitive nature. I welcome people from all walks of life. I am here for you. This will be a no judgement zone.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During your first initial session, I want to get to know you better as a person. I try to provide a safe space for you to be your authentic self. Expect laughter and tears as we work together to build a trusting relationship. I am here for you. I am a great listener.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I provide a therapeutic environment where you will start to fill empowered. You will learn and develop skills to achieve your life goals.
