17 years offering treatment
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with over 20 years experience in residential, community mental health, and private practice settings. I utilize a strengths-based, solution-oriented approach to counseling with a dash of mindfulness , a touch of narrative therapy, and good dose of humor. I believe that people are unique, beloved, and full of gifts, talents, interests, untapped resources, and often forgotten successes that can provide paths and even a road map to getting unstuck and through whatever is prompting them to seek out help. I strive to connect with the hurt, pain, losses, disappointments, and woundedness people bring to sessions while at the same time maintain a stubborn optimism about the potential for healing, growth, and positive change. Lastly, I consider the relationship of therapy/counseling to be sacred space both in a professional and spiritual sort of way. I never cease to be amazed by the tenacity, creativity, and strength demonstrated by the clients I work with, and I likewise never cease to be surprised, touched, and awed by how the Divine or something beyond us tends to show up. This does not mean that I impose my spiritual beliefs and/or wonderings on clients. Rather, I believe it is important for someone to know up front that spirituality and the resources that come with it are just part of who I am. If you are still interested or at least curious after reading my blurb, then I look forward to hearing from you!

7 years offering treatment
I enjoy working with people with a variety of motivations for starting therapy. While I specialize in working with postpartum moms and intended parents experiencing infertility, I have expertise in treating anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders. I work with individuals and couples. My job isn’t to tell someone what to do or how to think. Sometimes, my job is to hold heavy emotions, thoughts, memories with you. Sometimes, it’s to sort out the big box of thoughts you’re carrying around and decide what to keep and what to move away from. I am passionate about normalizing the challenges of new parenthood, the deep pain of infertility, and the discomfort that can be a part of the journey we’re all on to live closer to our most well selves. We may share silence, questions, or laughter together. I encourage my clients to bring their whole selves into our work, and humor is usually a big part of that! My approach to therapy is to employ evidenced-based interventions. I have been trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Wellness Recovery Action Plans and Exposure Response Prevention. I integrate the tenets of many clinical treatment modalities to meet each patient’s unique needs. You’re the expert in your own story, I’ll pull out my toolbox and we work together to fine tune what will meet your specific needs! I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Trinity Christian College and completed my Master’s degree in Social Work from Jane Addams College of Social Work at University of Illinois-Chicago. Before becoming a full-time therapist, I worked at nonprofits across the city with experience in domestic violence, refugee resettlement, and housing. I am always pursuing training to become a more skilled clinician, I am currently in process of completing my Perinatal Mental Health Certification.
