My approach is compassionate, solution-focused, and strengths-based. I focus on helping clients feel safe, regain a sense of control, and develop effective coping skills to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning. I work collaboratively with clients to process trauma, process crisis, build resilience, and restore hope. I am licensed in Illinois, Ohio, Virginia, and South Dakota, and I provide telehealth services to individuals in these states. I have over 25+ years as a military spouse working with survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, addiction, military families, and individuals who experienced child abuse.
I specialize in trauma, healing, crisis intervention, life changes, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I provide a trauma-informed, client-centered, and solution-focused approach. I believe in the mind-body-spirit connection and have extensive training in various modalities such as Psychological Astrology, EFT, Reiki, Somatic Yoga, and dream work.
My approach is client-centered, supportive, and grounded in understanding your unique experiences and strengths. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to work toward meaningful change. Together, we can identify practical tools to help you navigate challenges, build resilience, heal, and move forward.

I work with clients who may be struggling with life transitions, depression, anxiety, marital issues, or trauma related to their relationships and family. During our initial sessions, we will dive deep into the issues and collaborate to create a plan for focusing on strengths and ways to move forward.

With adults, I often use Solution-Focused and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what your therapy needs and goals are and decide the most appropriate ways to help you progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience.
