“‘What’s the most difficult thing about being you?’ I’ve posed this question to many I’ve journeyed with over the years in counseling; the responses are always intriguing and diverse.”

“We often seek counseling in response to relationship issues we’re having with others. However, it’s the relationship with ourselves that we may be overlooking or neglecting. This is one of many personal dynamics that I’ll explore with you. I’ll walk you through identifying core beliefs you’ve held that can lead to problematic thoughts and emotions. Together, we can develop a treatment plan that meets your specific needs and places you in a new direction in your life. My style is warm and affirming, while also transparent and candid. In my work as a therapist, I strive to provide a relationship that is safe, insightful and validating.”

“I earned my Master’s degree in Counseling from Denver Seminary and have been practicing in the state of Illinois for over twenty years. My clinical experience has included both outpatient community mental health and inpatient Psychiatric settings, with an emphasis in adolescent Psychiatry since 1998.”

“My experience of over twenty years entails extensive work with adolescents, both in the inpatient and outpatient setting, as well as providing therapeutic interventions for couples seeking help.”
