As a parent myself, I enjoy supporting other parents, specifically mom's redefine what life is like postpartum. From hormones to identity, I am here to validate and support you in all of the changes.

We all want to be healthier versions of ourselves and improve our overall wellbeing. Most of the time we tend to concentrate only on focusing on our physical health. While this is important it's not the only component of well-being we should be improving. To achieve lasting health we need to understand the importance of the body, mind and soul and how they work together to build our overall wellbeing. A healthy body keeps you well and active, a healthy mind keeps you focused and engaged, a healthy soul keeps you fulfilled and content.

Even the Courageous Can Hurt! You are on this page, most likely, because you are hurting. Perhaps you suffered a loss, or are at a loss, anxious, depressed or confused by the direction your life is taking. Maybe your pain is due to your own choices or actions. Perhaps it is caused by the choices and actions of others. Sometimes things just happen. Seeking help means you are taking responsibility for your happiness and well-being. That is the first step in healing and it is courageous. We recognize that you are in pain and provide an environment where you feel safe to peel away the layers of your hurt.

In our lives, the journey we travel each day can be quite overwhelming, terrifying, feeling isolated, or too difficult to carry. You could be consumed persistently with worry and concern for self or others. Have you found that feelings of joy and happiness are not within reach due to significant changes or loss in your life? Have you reached a point where you have a feeling of optimism and ready to take the steps towards wellness in your life, I am the therapist for you.

I seek to work with clients who have experiences with trauma and abuse, having seen firsthand how devastating the untreated symptoms of trauma can be on a person's functioning with family, in the workplace and within communities. These symptoms include panic attacks, anxiety, depression, PTSD and can often lead to disabling substance use disorders among other issues. These clients seek to understand why they cannot manage their emotions and have often normalized their abusive experiences, so they do not see why they are struggling to function as easily as they perceive others to be doing.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Masters of Science in Mental Health Counseling from National-Louis University with 24 years of experience. In addition to utilizing traditional therapeutic strategies, I have been trained as a certified Christian Mental Health Coach by the American Association of Christian Counselors, with the ability to offer Christian counseling to those who would like to incorporate their faith into their therapeutic process. I believe in working in concert with my clients to determine the best approaches necessary to help them achieve that state of mental/emotional wholeness in which they desire.

Counseling is a relationship between the client and counselor, working together to make positive changes to what may not be working in relationships and their daily lives. The goal of this relationship is to assess patterns of behavior and find new ways of interacting. I have over 10+ years experience with couples, families, and individuals in a therapeutic setting. I am currently doing EMDR therapy.
