Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois. I received my Master's degree from the University of Phoenix and have been practicing for 4 years. I help people of all ages struggling with depression, anxiety, and trauma become the best versions of themselves. I utilize the CBT theoretical approach (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), so I assist client to connect their negative thoughts and feelings to their past and present behaviors.
In our first session together, we will work on building rapport and getting to know one another. We will then create a treatment plan to help you achieve your goals.
Overall, I would say that I am very personable. I work diligently to provide an environment where the client can be themselves and allow complete vulnerability. Throughout my career, I have developed many different ways to assist client to understand their challenges and ways to overcome them.
I have been utilizing CBT since I started practicing in 2021. With the use of CBT, I help connect unhealthy thinking patterns to behaviors and feelings. Once the negative patterns are identified, I work with clients to change their thoughts, behaviors, and actions to more positive ones.
