About me

I hope this finds you well.

I am a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) in IL with many years of experience working in mental health counseling. I have worked with a diverse range of clients dealing with a variety of concerns including trauma, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, self-esteem, as well as relationship concerns. I have also helped many clients experiencing minority stress and or minority trauma. I approach therapy with a sensitivity and predilection for multicultural factors.

I have varied experience in multiple settings, including providing individual and group therapy at an inpatient hospital unit and an outpatient hospital unit; as well as providing individual and couples therapy at a private practice. I would describe my style as conversational, strengths based, insight-oriented, and fun. I am dedicated to creating a safe space for us to explore and gain insight while promoting self empowerment.

My clinical approach draws from Gestalt therapy and also incorporates Solution-Focused and mindfulness interventions. With me you can expect to be challenged to explore the origin of your problems, develop new awareness, identify pattern behaviors, work through unfinished business and create new strategies for change. Overall, I want to meet you where you’re at and collaborate to make sure our time together works best for you and your needs.

I value your courage in taking the next steps on your path to wellness. When you are ready, I am here to support and empower you along your journey.

Troy has helped me realize a lot of things about me in the weeks that I have worked him. I am grateful to have been paired with him.

Troy is very attentive and takes the initiative on his own to contact me and see how I’m doing. He also actively listens during our sessions and has meaningful input.

It seems for the short time I have been discussing my issues with Troy, it is mostly given me some hope. Troy listens well and has good suggestions. Troy seems to check in a good amount too, which I ha e not been use to with other therapies I have been to.

Although I am a new client. Troy has been the up most outstanding listener and breaking down the issues to bite sizes that can be understood, followed, and practiced. He is kind and can give gentle pushes to help be able to see the picture as a whole. I would recommend him to anyone reading this! 10/10 literally. Thank you Troy and if he is not your therapist and you need a great one. WHAT ARE YOU DOING! CONTACT THIS MAN!
