The village of Fox River Grove, Illinois was originally built by homesteaders in the mid-1800s. They settled in the area because of the abundance of clear water and natural beauty. It was a major travel route of American Indian tribes. The Fox River became the source of hydroelectric power. The railway is used as a commuter line to nearby Chicago.

Consider a counselor in the Fox River Grove area if you find yourself overwhelmed by responsibilities. A licensed mental health professional has the right training to help you through your times of need. There’s no need to deal with emotional and mental health issues on your own. Someone to help you is just a phone call away.

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with over 14 years of experience. I have spent the bulk of my career working with individuals suffering from trauma, substance abuse, and bipolar disorders. I am able to relate to individuals on a very personal level which typically builds a strong connection of trust. I manage a staff of over 60 individuals at a community mental health center where I am the administrator over co-occurring disorders (substance abuse and mental health). I manage a residential treatment facility, 6 outpatient co-occurring programs, a 24-hour mobile crisis program, an employee assistance program, mental health awareness program, and a substance abuse prevention program. I fully believe that in order to make things in our lives better we must learn how to take charge and change those things that are causing us problems. If change was just as easy as saying "lets change this", the counseling profession wouldn't be around. We all need help targeting the part of our lives where change needs to occur and we need help in starting and maintaining that change. I hope I am able to help you along this road to wellbeing!
