I truly love what I do and provide caring acceptance and support to my clients. I am proud to say that my biggest referral base is former clients and I could not ask for a biggest compliment. Looking forward to helping you.

Often, life presents us with challenges. Sometimes those challenges can make us feel anxious and depressed and may lead to problems in our lives and in our relationships with our loved ones, friends, and co-workers. At other times, we struggle with the transitions that normally occur in life, an "empty nest", becoming a young adult, or maintaining intimate relationships. Counseling can provide you with a safe place to share your feelings, explore options for change and work toward managing life's challenges.

The world we are currently living in can be incredibly overwhelming and full of constant transitions. I strive to provide clients with a safe and supportive space to grow and heal, especially during this chaotic time. I am passionate about working with clients experiencing a life transition, such as coping with the diagnosis of a chronic medical condition or food allergies. I understand how the stress of these experiences can impact every area of a person’s world and I assist clients in bringing balance back into their lives by incorporating aspects of both physical and mental health.

Through my decades of experience I have seen that we all struggle with feelings of not being "Good Enough" in some way. Whether that is smart enough, lovable enough, or many other not enoughs. We form these beliefs during our lives and many things trigger that NOT GOOD ENOUGH feeling. We may react emotionally when the "not good enough" feeling is triggered. EMDR & Mindfulness are great tools to help calm down our emotions so we have better control of them. My client's say I have an easy going and personable style. I have such high regard for my client's bravery and strength to seek help!

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois. I believe we are all doing our best and can still do better, especially with the right help- I hope I can be that help for you. I strive to provide my clients a nonjudgemental space to process their experiences, thoughts, and emotions in an effort to find understanding and acceptance. We work together to help you achieve personal growth and find a more satisfying and fulfilling life.

"Are you getting in your own way?" I specialize in teens, couples and individuals that are seeking to be freed from current and past hurts, anxiety, depression and trauma. As we partake in the human experience, we must examine the roots. I am considered the “active” therapist that will encourage and assist you on your healing journey. As I believe the past is represented in the present – we will use interactive activities, mindfulness and metaphors to identify and rectify past behaviors that no longer work for the present/future you.

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 is it that makes a person decide to seek counseling? Most often it seems that people are needing a witness to their many different thoughts and feelings. There's something about truly being heard and accepted that creates an opening for wisdom. This wisdom generates healthy ways of viewing oneself, others, and the circumstances of your life. It helps to sharpen the skills which lead to a life of meaning. The counseling experience is like a workshop, where you can open things up, look at what needs to be cleaned, repaired, replaced. Your life is not a mistake. It's your assignment to live it beautifully. Sounds fun, right!
