About My Clients
You internal voice is relentlessly mean! And sometimes you have so many thoughts and BIG feelings that you are left exhausted and drained. You are left asking yourself, why can't I just get over it, why am I like this, and why am I so stuck? It's hard to describe what you are thinking and feeling to your family and friends. You are searching for clarity and something different, but you aren't sure what that is exactly.
My Background and Approach
I believe that healing happens a little every day as the healing process is not linear, but transformational and challenging work. I work intentionally to create a restorative and safe space free of judgement while employing a trauma-informed and de-stigmatizing perspective to therapy. I believe in a strengths- based approach to building a therapeutic relationship with my clients while maintaining the belief that you are the expert on your own life. I have worked with youth and families in various clinical settings including outpatient counseling, residential treatment, and program administration. I have extensive experience in treating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, complex trauma and significant mental health concerns. I am a member of the American Counseling Association and Illinois Counseling Association.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I have a casual and relaxed approach. I believe genuine human connection is foundational to mental health wellness and your healing journey. I want to be the "something different" you are looking for in a therapist who can give you clarity, support, and compassion.
