Welcome, and thank you for considering my professional counseling services. Allow me to provide you with insight into my background and therapeutic approach.As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor practicing in Illinois, I am situated in Algonquin, where I conduct sessions from my home-based office. My expertise predominantly involves working with children, adolescents, and young adults, addressing a spectrum of concerns including anxiety, depression, ADHD, and emotional regulation.My training encompasses various therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution Focused Therapy. I pride myself on my ability to customize these methods to best serve my clients, ensuring they experience a sense of ease and validation throughout our sessions. For a deeper understanding of these techniques, I invite you to check out the Services section of my website. In this therapeutic space, clients are guaranteed an experience of being truly listened to, enabling them to express themselves freely and without fear of judgment. Through our work together, clients will cultivate a profound self-awareness and learn effective strategies for navigating their emotions.My professional demeanor is characterized by a non-judgmental, engaging, and flexible approach. In the initial stages of therapy, we will collaborate to establish clear, attainable goals and cultivate a foundation of trust. It is my firm belief that therapy should be a client-driven process, and I am committed to adapting to the unique needs of each individual.I earned my Master’s degree in Counseling from National-Louis University in 2010 and have since gained valuable experience working as a therapist at Children’s Home and Aid, as well as serving as a school counselor at Marlowe Middle School and D47 elementary schools. Beyond my clinical practice, I lead an active lifestyle, enjoying activities such as kickboxing, dancing, rollerblading, and hiking with my German Shepherd, Colt. I also cherish summertime by the lake, engaging in beach games with my family. My passion lies in assisting individuals in the pursuit of happiness and the attainment of their personal objectives. I hold a firm conviction that therapy can be a transformative experience for anyone willing to invest the time, effort, and trust necessary to overcome life’s challenges and discover a sense of inner peace. I offer both in-person and telehealth sessions from my tranquil and private home office.
