LCPC, 6 years of experience
I am licensed in Illinois and Utah with 6 years of professional work experience in community mental health and substance abuse. While working in community mental health has been a wonderful experience, I decided to move forward in my career and have been in private practice for almost a year now. I have experience in helping clients with a varity of concerns from coping with addictions to parenting issues. I work with individuals with a variety of mental health concerns including anxiety, depression, and relationship conflicts. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
During our first session we will complete an intake/assessments as well as determine what your goals are for treatment.
I have strengths in working with clients struggling with addiction as well as mental health concerns.
Clients ages 18 and up. I provide individual therapy and support. I do not offer family therapy or couples counseling at this time.
I use a variety of cbt techniques in my practice. We will work on identifying cognitive distortions, replacing unhealthy thoughts, putting thoughts on trial, and utilizing behavioral activation.
