As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Board Certified Art Therapist, I approach the needs of my clients with customized treatment strategies and collaborative care. Every client that comes to therapy is sharing and their personal truth and life experiences. I respect the vulnerability that comes with the therapeutic process and strive to provide a safe and challenging environment in order to promote personal growth and achievement. I know that therapy and self-exploration can be hard to navigate but with guidance and support the therapeutic process can deliver such triumph over difficult circumstances.
I founded Creative Approaches to Therapy Inc. in Homewood, IL in 2020. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Board Certified Art Therapist with a double Master of Art in Counseling Psychology and Art Therapy. I specialize in providing EMDR and Art Therapy.
I believe that every one of my clients possesses the strength, resilience, and power to accomplish their goals in life. I would love to help you start this journey into self-exploration, recovery, and most of all healing. "New beginnings are often disguised as painful endings." -Lao Tzu
