With almost 20 years of experience in providing individual and group therapy, I have had the privilege of helping a diverse range of clients with issues such as depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief/loss, anger management, young adult issues, women's issues, mood disorders, self-injury, identity, life changes/transitions, relationship difficulties, work/life balance, and empowerment. My approach is centered on DBT, Compassion-Focused Therapy, EMDR, and Mindfulness practices. These tools, combined with a collaborative, transparent, and humor-infused approach, create an environment that promotes insight and positive change. View 4 Photos I hold a Masters degree in Clinical & Counseling Psychology from Illinois State University, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, board-certified with the National Board of Certified Counselors. In addition, I have specialty certifications in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Anger Management, and EMDR. Deciding to make a change, no matter how small, is a significant decision. Change can be challenging, and I see therapy as a unique opportunity to gain understanding, insight, and direction. Together, we can work towards your goals, build a strong commitment to your future, empowering you to take control of your life.
