I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Illinois. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in both individual and group settings. The clients I have worked with have struggled with eating disorders, self-injury, anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation. I work with my client on developing healthy coping skills, such as grounding and relaxation techniques, to help alleviate the stress brought on by triggering thoughts and situations. In addition, I work with my client on creating short term and long term goals to motivate and establish a strong sense of self.
I specialize in eating disorders, self-injury, and anxiety. My approach to counseling combines Client-Centered, Goal Oriented, Cognitive Behavioral theories, Mindfulness, and other Skill based techniques. If a client prefers, I can also integrate Christian counseling approaches as well.
If you are feeling alone or feeling like things will never get better or you just want to talk it out, reach out to me. I am here to help and let you feel heard and validated. I have 2 in-person locations (Naperville & Schaumburg) and I also meet through Zoom. There is always hope.
