Great to meet you!

I attended Southern Illinois University and completed my Bachelor’s of Social Work in December of 2012. After taking a semester off, I moved forward to obtain my Masters of Social Work which I completed in May of 2014. Since completing my education, I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults in an outpatient setting for the past 6 years. I have found that therapy is my passion and I look forward to helping you discover how therapy can improve your quality of life.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Life events can cause anyone to experience symptoms of anxiety and/or depression. How you respond to these symptoms makes all the difference in your overall health. Together we will work to identify your goals of managing these symptoms and develop steps to reduce their affect on your day to day life. Trauma can cause long term effects on your health. Processing trauma, no matter how long ago it happened, is vital to moving forward past the traumatic event.

What you can expect from our first session

You can expect to learn multiple skills to help manage your day to day stressors and improve your quality of life.
