Health Alliance Therapists in Mahomet, IL
I graduated from the University of Illinois with a Masters Degree in Social Work. I take a person-centered approach to therapy, recognizing that people are the experts of their own life and experiences. It is my goal to help people grow, become more confident, and to advocate for themselves to receive the care that they want to receive. I empower clients to make their own choices in life, and to trust themselves to make decisions. After working with me, it is my hope that clients will see that they have the ability to make changes in their own lives, set and achieve goals, and grow in ways that may have previously seemed impossible.

I am a native of Urbana, IL. I earned a Bachelor degree in Biblical Studies with a focus in Pastoral Counseling from SUM Bible College and Theological Seminary, and a Master degree in Social Work from the University of Illinois. While working with at-risk youth, I began to find interest in their journey and valued creating a space where they could share. I became interested in learning more about counseling and supporting others with developing tools for success. I value the opportunity to walk with clients as they share their journeys. I have a relational approach combined with a solution-based focus.

I provide a warm, nurturing, collaborative environment to foster healthy emotional functioning and growth. My goal is to assist you in creating a healthier sense of self. Through my experience, I have come to learn that counseling is most beneficial when possibilities of hope, healing, and action are developed through meaningful conversations. My focus is on helping clients manage their distressful symptoms, identify learned patterns and unhelpful ways of thinking, rewire their brains, reprocess trauma, and access their strengths to use as leverage to work through their upsetting events, fears, anxiety, and blindspots.

I really enjoy working with children, adolescents, and young adults. I love helping others realize their strengths and focus on reaching their goals. I often approach therapy with the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools although I am able to incorporate other interventions as needed. Providing a warm and inviting environment where individuals can feel safe and comfortable is very important to me in treatment. Christian faith-based therapy is something else I provide when clients want to utilize their spirituality in their treatment.
