I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and an Organizational Psychologist with 24 years of experience in the field. I completed my master’s degree in Counseling at Valparaiso University and my doctorate in Organizational Psychology (PhD) at Walden University. In addition to my counseling practice, I am also an adjunct professor in a health studies department, where I teach courses in holistic medicine, human sexuality, stress management, and statistics. While I offer counseling and talk therapy services, I do not currently offer psychological testing.
I began my counseling career in 1995 with the Aliveness Project in Gary, Indiana, where I worked with the LGBTQ+ community, providing outreach and prevention services. I also helped Spanish-speaking communities in Chicago before deciding to return to graduate school after questioning my abilities at the time.
I agree with Freud’s belief that everyone should be able to love and work. We should love our work and understand love. When a person experiences an imbalance in either of these areas, stress can arise. Over time, prolonged stress can lead to symptoms of anxiety and depression. My goal is to help individuals find balance in these areas to foster a good life.
