Accepting Clients

I’m here to provide compassionate, client-centered therapy that helps you build the skills to navigate life with confidence.

Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Ilinois

About My Clients

My ideal client may be feeling overwhelmed by life’s challenges, such as stress, anxiety, or past trauma. They want to feel more in control, confident, and at peace with themselves. They’re seeking support to understand their emotions, build coping skills, and create lasting change, so they can live a more balanced, fulfilling life.

My Background and Approach

I specialize in helping individuals navigate mood disorders, trauma, substance use, and life’s challenges. Together, we’ll work on building coping skills, fostering resilience, and creating strategies for lasting change. My approach is supportive, non-judgmental, and tailored to your unique needs, helping you build confidence and independence. I’ve also worked closely with legal systems, including parole, probation, TASC, DCFS, and drug court, advocating for individuals in need of structured support. My approach is client-centered—therapy isn’t about keeping you in the chair forever, but about helping you build the skills and confidence to thrive independently.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Growing up in Southern Illinois, I developed a deep appreciation for my community and a passion for reducing the stigma around mental health and substance use. I believe in meeting people where they are, offering a nonjudgmental space to explore their experiences, and equipping them with the tools they need to move forward. Whether you’re struggling with mood disorders, trauma, personality disorders, neurocognitive issues, or navigating gender identity and transitions, I’m here to help. I know reaching out for support can be a big step, and I’m here to make it easier for you. Together, we’ll work on building the skills and confidence you need to face life’s challenges and create lasting, positive change. You don’t have to do this alone—I'm here to support you every step of the way.
