Therapist Overview
I am a licensed clinical professional counselor who is focused on cultivating wellness, personal empowerment, and happiness in my clients. My nine years of experience encompasses individual and family counseling, and I work closely with adolescents (as young as 12 years of age) and with adults of all ages struggling with a range of mental health issues. These issues include, but are not limited to, anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, bipolar disorders, personality disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, codependency, and anger management. I am trained in a variety of treatment modalities, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), assertive communication, stages of change, grief and loss, and expressive therapy. While experienced in many areas of mental health, I specialize in individual counseling. I believe that therapy should help to enhance each individualās life and inspire them to live their lives to the fullest. Ideally, the relationship between the counselor and the client should be both restorative and, at times, challenging. I earned my Master of Education in Human Services and Counseling from DePaul University, in Chicago, Illinois.
