I have a dedicated 24 years of social services experience, with 14 years of outpatient clinical experience. I received my BA in Psychology at Purdue University & MA at the University of Chicago, School of Social Administration. Overall, I have fulfilled a spectrum of diversified clinical roles, that include home-based, outpatient, inpatient, and telehealth therapy. This includes specialty treatment with various therapy modalities, such as CBT, ACT, DBT, PST.
I'm very passionate about working with helping those who suffer from the debilitation of mental illness- most specifically, depression, anxiety, or trauma. I have witnessed the transformative process of providing quality therapeutic intervention that have improved the quality of life for countless clients. Notably, I must admit my gift is working with adolescents and young adults.
Having worked with clients, like yourself, that were seeking emotional relief, I have refined the skill of validating the client as the expert of their life, while (1) getting to the root of the problem and (2) collaborating on measurable treatment goals to determine when therapy is no longer needed. Ultimately, I employ a holistic approach that combines therapy and collaboration to help the client manage symptoms, improve coping mechanisms, and enhance overall well-being.
