Therapists in Warrenville, IL

I am an affirming Black female in a large body, that strives to help everyone feel empowered to be their authentic selves. I have always been passionate about helping others. With over twenty-two years in the helping profession, I have had the opportunity to assist many souls experience healthy change. My goal and purpose in life is to help others navigate through life's challenges with a holistic and organic approach. I have exemplified this in my practice as a Certified Trauma Professional. During my time working with those struggling with substance use disorder, I recognized that trauma was at the root of substance use, and traditional talk therapy didn't always work. Implementing EMDR and Brainspotting into my learning and practice has had such a positive impact with clients.
