I am only offering telehealth at this time.
About
Telehealth only! Therapy is a place to work through our own “stuff”, ranging from life transitions to severe mental health struggles. Everyone benefits from having a safe space to process. As a therapist, I will walk side-by-side with you during sessions. I use a person centered approach, allowing space for empathy, as well as challenging when appropriate. I have experience working with preteens, teenagers, and adults. I have a wide range of experience in different settings including correctional facilities, residential facilities, partial hospitalization programs, and outpatient. I currently hold a license in Illinois and Utah.
I am trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Eye Movement Reprocessing and Desensitization (EMDR). I also take on a person centered approach in therapy.
Finding a therapist who is a "good fit" can be difficult. If you are interested in a phone/video consult, please feel free to send an email! At the moment, I only have morning availability. I am only in network with PPO insurances.
