“Life’s journey begins with a single step. Therapy begins with a single call. Let me guide you through your journey to wellness with that single call”
Licensed since 2008, I earned my master’s degree in education from DePaul University in Chicago. Upon graduating, I was accepted into the community counseling program at DePaul University.
Throughout my career, I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults while providing individual, family, and couples counseling, along with facilitating an autism spectrum group.
I support first responders including Firefighter Behavioral Health which assists in suicidal prevention for first responders. In addition, I work assisting police departments with critical stress debriefings.
As a trained mediator through DePaul University, I can assist couples who may have differences that require more than just couples counseling.
I am a certified hypnotherapist and can help with the cessation of smoking, anxiety reduction, weight loss, and gaining confidence.
I believe therapy is a joint effort between therapist and client. I have a proven track record of success as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. As your therapist, I am committed to providing you the best care possible. Every person is unique which is why there are many different treatments approaches available to you. I am committed to making every effort to provide effective care, your commitment is needed as well to achieve success. Together, you and I will create a treatment plan that will be a roadmap to your successful journey. Any barriers to success will be discussed and the plans adjusted as needed. You and I will discuss progress and challenges in an honest, trusting, and confidential manner in order to achieve your desired outcome.
In my spare time, I am a wildlife artist and wood carver. My work is displayed in art galleries and online.
