Hi, I'm glad you're here! I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Iowa. I am also a CSAT Candidate with IITAP. I earned both my master's and doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Argosy University in 2011 and have been working in the mental health field since 2006. I have dedicated my career to helping people grow, heal and thrive. Over the years, I have been fortunate to serve in many different roles, including: - Outpatient therapist at a community mental health center in Illinois - Lead therapist in an inpatient hospital in Illinois - School-based counselor in California and Missouri - Early Childhood Mental Health Consultant - Wellness counselor at Eastern New Mexico University - Chemical dependency therapist in both inpatient and outpatient programs - Adjust professor in the Master's Counseling Program at Missouri Valley College Each role has shaped how I show up for the people I work with: compassionate, real, and focused on meeting you where you are. These diverse experiences have given me a wide lens to understand the challenges people face at every stage of life. In 2025, I expanded my work with beginning my Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) certification a passion that began for me in graduate school, with IITAP. Whether I'm working with a child, adult, couple, or family my mission is the same: to support growth, resilience, and balance in every stage of life.
