As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have 25+ years of experience working with individuals who are struggling with symptoms of mental health or substance use disorders. Licensed in Illinois, Missouri, and Florida. In the fast-paced world we live in, we are constantly facing heightened feelings of stress caused by workplace, parenting, family, or other relationship conflicts. Unfortunately, for many, alcohol or drugs are used to “manage” the difficult times. It is my goal to help clients navigate their complex feelings and to provide the tools and coping skills needed to return hope, inner peace and happiness to their lives.

Even when life is seemingly going well, our thoughts and feelings can make our days and nights a struggle. Living with mental illness or going through a challenging time can be like there is an ever-looming cloud blocking us from feeling the sun. It is my belief that therapy can help us see and feel the light again. Depression, anxiety, ADHD, behavioral or personality issues, and abuse & trauma can make us feel like we’re alone and without hope. Therapy can be a place where you don’t have to go through life’s struggles alone and get to learn coping strategies and solutions.

Do you feel overwhelmed with some of your life circumstances? Have you experienced trauma: a divorce, job-loss, traumatic birth, difficult diagnosis, or domestic violence? Are you depressed, struggling with low self-esteem, lacking motivation, or needing help transitioning through life? I believe that every individual has what it takes to succeed and live a fulfilling life. Sometimes, we have to go through the darkest storms to see the brightest rainbows. Without the right tools and a safe non-judgmental space, it may feel impossible to weather the storm on your own.

I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and families that seek treatment for emotional and behavioral issues including depression, anxiety, anger and stress management, grief and loss, and self-harm and aggressive behaviors. Many times, both adult and young members of a family need therapeutic support when emotional and behavioral issues are present. I also have experience working with clients to increase age appropriate communication and social skills in order to develop and maintain positive relationships. I am able to see clients with or without the members of their families.

You deserve to live a life that you love. There are many people who see therapy as something intrusive, unnecessary, or believe they will be judged. As a therapist, I believe that the connection built between the patient and therapist is the foundation that can lead you to the life that you want to live. My goal is to help you achieve your goals and see you become happier with the life you are currently living. Yes, sometimes therapy can bring up painful emotions, memories or events, but this pain can lead to growth and a better life. Life is too short to let the traumas of the past keep you from the life you were meant to live!

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. - Lao Tzu. Making the phone call for help sometimes is the hardest part! Do you feel that you have been taking care of everybody but yourself? Counseling is a safe way to tell your story and work through obstacles that have been in your way. It can provide you with insight to help put you in a better place. I would like to hear your story and help you meet your therapy goals!

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with many years of experience. If you are motivated to advance in life and overcome the obstacles that may potentially hinder your personal, social and professional development, I will be the right person for you to work with.

Often times life can get tough. It can affect you, your marriage/relationship, your family, your children, your ability to parent, your self-worth, and more than anything, your ability to overcome any obstacles you are facing. I believe within each of us we have the strength to overcome the impossible. Out of pain comes something stronger, better, and the ability to thrive. I believe you already have the answers you seek and you contain the ability to change the worst circumstances. Sometimes our paths are hidden by everything weighing us down, which can make us feel overwhelmed. This can prevent us from seeing a way out...
