Writing these bios might be almost as nerve-racking as going through them and trying to decide who you think will be the best fit for you or your loved one. You might worry about being judged, wonder if you'll be understood, or have doubts that your efforts would even help, and that's OK! I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience in behavioral health, working with teens, adults, and families living with mental health and substance use disorders.

I approach each client as an individual and always lead with compassion and empathy while utilizing an integrated theoretical approach to fit individual needs. I believes in empowering individuals to embrace their ability to change from within and enjoy using humor and metaphors to bring normalcy and enjoyment to the counseling process.
If you need further treatment, I can connect you to the Rosecrance full continuum of care, which complements our outpatient services with residential treatment and sober living options in Chicago and northern and central Illinois.
