Great to meet you!

Becoming a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor has been one of my most cherished accomplishments allowing me to provide premium mental health services to my clients. I earned my MS in Counseling from National-Louis University graduating with honors. With over 25 years of experience helping others achieve their mental health goals. I am also a Certified Christian Mental Health Coach. I welcome all clients including those who would like to include their faith in their therapeutic process.

My approach to therapy

My approach is person-centered as I partner with my clients in order to develop a positive trusting relationship as we endeavor to achieve mental health and wholeness. I specialize in listening to my clients with sensitivity and insight both scientifically and spiritually.

What you can expect from me

I see the first session as an opportunity for the client to express their needs as we begin to formulate a treatment plan centered on completing the established treatment goals. The therapeutic environment is a safe place for clients to share the challenges they are facing without judgement.
