Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?

I have always found a deep love for helping others. I knew from a young age, being in a helping field was where I was meant to be. Social Work came so naturally. I love talking with people; exploring problems, feelings, concerns, and questions about their lives. I love helping change perspectives and focusing on bigger pictures rather than getting caught up in the small details- which we all do! It's an honor to be able to walk with others through their journeys and knowing that while we can't change everything, we can always change our viewpoint which can lead to healing and growth.

My counseling style is warm, empathetic, integrative, and person-centered. I believe that a therapeutic relationship should be a collaborative one in which you and I work together to discover creative strategies, solutions and, even humorous insights to help you reach your goals. My role is to be there to guide you, encourage you, maybe even challenge you if I feel you are unknowingly allowing obstacles to stand in your way. I draw on multiple treatment modalities to guide clients in identifying strengths and developing treatment plans that accomplish their goals. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, PTSD, cancer and other terminal diagnosis, grief/loss and major life changes including growing older and adjusting to new normals. There is no better time to prioritize your mental health! Send me an email to schedule an introductory call.

I became a counselor because of my deep-seated desire to support and empower individuals in need of guidance and healing. Having worked in various healthcare settings, I witnessed the profound impact of mental health struggles on individuals and communities. This inspired me to pursue a career where I could make a meaningful difference in people's lives by providing compassionate and effective therapy. What motivates me to continue is seeing the transformative journey of my clients as they overcome challenges, develop resilience, and thrive in their lives. Being a part of their growth and witnessing their resilience fuels my passion for therapy every day.

Welcome! I'm a passionate healthcare professional dedicated to providing compassionate and effective telehealth therapy. With a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness, I offer supportive counseling services for adults and older adolescents. My experience in counseling and case management has equipped me with the skills to provide impactful mental health therapy, ensuring my clients receive the care and support they deserve. I see clients almost exclusively during morning hours, up until noon (CST) and can easily accommodate people with non-traditional schedules, since I have appointments as early (or late!) as 1am CST. Just like a good workout, a therapy session first thing in the morning can help you start your day off right. In addition to counseling, I've been instrumental in developing innovative strategies for Medicaid Special Needs programs, emphasizing quality assurance and improvement in Illinois. My cross-functional leadership has enabled me to work collaboratively with community partners, optimizing program outcomes and enhancing quality of care.
