Welcome! I am a licensed therapist at Lotus Therapy Group in Frankfort, IL. I have almost nine years of experience working in the mental health field. I specialize in the treatment of eating disorders, trauma, depression, and anxiety. Additionally, I work with preteens, teens, and adults as well as with couples and families. If you are currently struggling with these issues, help is available.

I am extremely passionate about building rapport and collaborating with clients to create an environment of acceptance, safety, and support. I assist and empower clients to create goals that can be integrated into their daily lives and believe compassion, understanding, and trust are key factors throughout the entire therapeutic process. I strive to meet clients where they are and help clarify which areas they would like to improve. While therapy can be overwhelming at times, my main goal is to provide clients with a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere throughout their therapeutic journey.

Anxiety, depression, health issues, stress, relationship issues, grief, worry, loneliness, and feeling completely overwhelmed can be a struggle. Life is challenging, and it can be difficult to know where to begin. Making changes to your life is a big step and you do not have to do it alone. Therapy is a collaborative conversation designed to better understand you and your life. Whether you are experiencing a temporary disruption due to a life stressor, or are constantly feeling overwhelmed, therapy can help you achieve the sense of well-being everyone is entitled.

Sometimes it’s hard to get out of bed, isn’t it? Sometimes you feel defeated. Sometimes this worry takes over, feels like you’re trying to breathe under water, doesn’t it? We become so avoidant of emotions that some of us turn to alcohol and/or drugs for help. There’s no time for family or friends or self-care. We become stuck in this loop of unsatisfaction or just pain that doesn’t seem to end. It becomes hard to move, to motivate, to socialize, to change when we have these loud negative voices screaming in our heads that we’re not good enough, we don’t deserve better.

Coming to counseling is a difficult decision to make. It takes strength to admit we need help. I admire my clients for seeking help and hope to create an environment where they feel empowered for coming to counseling. I enjoy working with clients from all different walks of life. I like to create a collaborative atmosphere and respect that I will learn just as much from you as you will learn from me.

What's getting in the way of living the life you want? Do you feel stuck and increasingly unsure if any real change can happen? I welcome the chance to work with you on the discovery process of moving beyond the stuck points, whether it is within yourself or in your relationships. You have already taken the first step by considering therapy.

Life holds blessings as well as various challenges for us. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, conflicting relationships, or just the angst that every day life can create, if left untreated; chronic stress can harm both your emotional and physical health. In a nonjudgmental, warm and supportive atmosphere, I will help you explore the things that are causing you stress, and support you in making the changes that will lead to a greater sense of balance in your life. I believe in a holistic approach to health and wellness.

I received my Master's Degree (MA) in Counseling Psychology as well as my BA in Psychology from Trinity Christian College. Prior to receiving my degree I worked as a CNA with elderly patients who suffered from Alzheimer's and Dementia. In my undergrad coursework I specialized in working with children and teens with Special Needs, both behavioral and cognitive. My previous counseling experiences have allowed me the chance to work with a variety of diagnoses, cultures and populations in several different settings that include but not limited to; individual, group, inpatient as well as outpatient.

I know life can be stressful, and just because you're young, doesn't mean that you don't experience worries, stress and overwhelm. I love working with children ages 6 and up, and young adults up to age 25.

Each day of our lives can be described as a journey. At times, there are minor obstacles and at other times there appears to be mountains that we face. These situations can increase symptoms of anxiety and depression. With that said, we can forget where our inner strengths come from and we can lose sight of the meaning in our lives. It can be helpful to seek guidance from a therapist. A therapist can assist an individual in rediscovering inner strengths and developing the motivation to scale those mountains.

Eating Disorders, Anxiety, Depression, and Trauma/PTSD can feel all consuming and at times insurmountable. You may be tired of struggling on your own or you may be looking for treatment for someone you love. Either way, I am here to help! With over 15 years of counseling experience, I have the tools to help you navigate these issues. I am a licensed therapist at Lotus Therapy Group in Frankfort, IL. Working with people who have a difficult relationship with food is my speciality. Many of my clients struggle with Anorexia, Bulimia, or Binge Eating Disorder. If food, weight, or body image controls your life, I can help you.

It is ok to hit the pause button and ask for additional support to process what life has thrown your way. Additionally, you may have noticed ineffective behaviors or ways of coping. Asking for support is often the most important step to living our best life. My approach is to come beside you to better understand the origin and function of life interfering behaviors. Together, we work as a team to empower you, identify values, practice new forms of coping, and embrace change. If you struggle with disordered eating patterns, body image, depression, or anxiety my training and experience might be a good fit for your needs.

Have you hit a point in your life where you feel like you’re spinning your wheels in a rut on the side of the road while the rest of life is flying past you? Would you like to feel that you have a handle on how to manage your life, rather than just fighting through the days? I work with the stress and anxiety that has touched so many lives, especially in this past year. I also work with people struggling with difficulties in their relationships, experiencing loss or loneliness, having trouble meeting goals, or a history of trauma. By listening to your life experiences and roadblocks we will begin to develop a big picture and a plan.
