I believe that whether you're needing support with a current challenge, a past trauma, or navigating a life transition, you deserve a space that is welcoming and free of judgment. My goal as your therapist is to help you feel empowered and in control. I do not claim to be the expert on your life, and consider therapy a collaborative process where your voice matters. Common issues I address include coping and self-regulation skills, anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting support, self-esteem, safe expression of feelings, grief, psycho-education, safety planning, healthy relationships, boundaries, and pregnancy/postpartum support.

As a psychologist, my job is to help clients meet their full potential. I strive to create a supportive environment where I can work collaboratively with my clients and their families to meet their goals. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and their families. I specialize in working with individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and other developmental disabilities. My practice focuses on two areas: comprehensive evaluations and PCIT therapy.

In addition to providing counseling, I specialize in comprehensive diagnosis and assessment of learning difficulties, ADHD, memory concerns, autism, dementia/Alzheimer's disease, brain injury, depression, anxiety, and a variety of other psychological and neuropsychological difficulties. I bring a comprehensive and compassionate approach to each and every client. When your child is struggling at school or when you begin to experience memory issues, you need a knowledgeable and skilled professional who will be able to assess the situation and help you determine the right next step. I can bring clarity to situations that otherwise feel chaotic.

I understand that the choice of a therapist is an important one. The trust that is built between the client and the therapist is important in determining how helpful therapy can be. I work hard to create a supportive therapeutic environment. I believe in providing a safe, non-judgmental atmosphere and encourage people to talk at a pace that is comfortable for them. I believe that an individual has the ability to learn to do things differently and feel better. I use techniques associated with the widely recognized cognitive behavioral theory as well as those from family system's theory.

My goal as a counselor is to help as many people as possible work through difficult issues and have the tools to succeed on their own-without needing therapy. I have experience working with adults and teens who are rebuilding their lives or just want insight into a particular problem. Some of the clients I have worked with include those who have experienced homelessness, divorce, addictions, incarceration, expulsion from school, depression, grief/loss, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting issues, sexual abuse, and sexual problems.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and I have lived my entire life in the Metro-east area. I have a profound connection to helping people with emotional and/or psychological issues. Consequently, I received my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Southern Illinois University in Edwardsville and obtained a dual masters from Lindenwood University in both Clinical and School counseling. My expertise include depression, self-esteem, grief, anxiety, separation anxiety, children, adolescents, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, ADHD parenting and family issues. I am also a Certified First Responder Counselor.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have 25+ years of experience working with individuals who are struggling with symptoms of anxiety, depression, or other mental health or substance use disorders. In the fast-paced world we live in, we are constantly facing heightened feelings of stress caused by workplace, parenting, family, couple or other relationship conflicts. Unfortunately, for many, alcohol or drugs are used to “manage” the difficult times. It is my goal to help clients navigate their most complex feelings and to provide the tools and coping skills needed to return hope, inner peace and happiness to their lives.

My specialties are teens and adults with anxiety, stress, trauma, depression, life changes, parenting, and teen behaviors.

If you have a teen who is struggling behaviorally, as a former School Therapist with over 10 years of experience working with at-risk youth, I can provide your teen with the right tools to improve their behavior. While, adults and teens of all racial and ethnic backgrounds seek me out for services, African American/Black and other minorities specifically find value in my services.

I have been working with children and adults in a variety of environments both within a school and a community based center.

What would you like your life to look like after you have emotionally healed? Maybe you're unsure of what you need, but you know that you want things to be different. I want to assure you that in all of the overwhelming chaos, the challenges that may cause you to feel stuck, broken and defeated, healing is possible.

Navigating life's challenges can be tough for anyone. Significant life changes rarely come one at a time, giving us enough to process, plan and adapt. A loss of a job, divorce, chronic illness of our own or a loved one, and other life stressors can have experiencing shifting roles, responsibilities and routines, which can be uncomfortable and distressing. If you are also experiencing anxiety and/or depression, these are also the times we notice significant worsening of our symptoms. The good news is that you don't have to face these moments in life alone.
