I am a licensed clinical and rehabilitation therapist based in Illinois with over two decades of experience in treating mood disorders, anxiety, family systems, and addiction or substance misuse. My main goal is to provide support and treatment to adults, seniors, and families who are seeking help for their mental health and addiction disorders. As a biracial therapist, I am dedicated to serving clients facing obstacles and helping them understand themselves better and live more positively. I am committed to using my expertise to assist clients on their mental and emotional wellness journey.

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

Your appointment is all about you, whether it's a short or in-depth session. I will listen to your feedback and use proven techniques to address your unique physical and social obstacles. After each session, I will assess your progress and identify areas for improvement to better prepare for our next meeting.

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

I highly recommend keeping a broad perspective as you work towards achieving your goals and changing your life. As your supportive companion, I will be your biggest advocate and a source of inspiration as you focus on healing your body and mind. I am a professional committed to providing personalized care and support. Your needs will always be handled with respect and professionalism. I will use evidence-based practices and accessible resources to guide you during your transition, whether it involves reconnecting with your family, managing conflicts, returning to work after an illness, or simply exploring yourself.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I find it rewarding to work with diverse client populations as a professional. I especially enjoy working with BIPOC individuals, families, LGBTQ+ individuals, and disabled persons. My experience in helping people from all walks of life has taught me how to be a better listener, communicator, and problem-solver. I believe everyone deserves access to quality care, and I strive to provide that to all my clients.

My treatment methods

Strength-Based

I consider myself a strength-based clinician with primary emphasis on positive personality aspects and the ability to develop understanding of learned strategies allowing them to support life choices.

Person-centered (Rogerian)

Understanding and accepting the self as a fundamental conduit for self-awareness and actualization is paramount. Learning who you are and what you require is the cornerstone of growth.
