I am an Illinois based Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) as well as Colorado based Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC). I completed my masters in Forensic Psychology, and developed a passion for people who tend to be discounted by society. What I have come to find, is we all have certain parts of ourselves that fit into those discounted parts of society. I enjoy getting to work with people to process through those parts of ourselves we hide or shame with acceptance, kindness, and curiosity. I work best with clients in their teens up to clients in their 80's and everyone in between. I utilize practices from ACT, DBT, CBT, EMDR and MI . I have worked with clients struggling with substance use or abuse, trauma, anxiety, depression, identity challenges, stress, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, grief, bullying, anger, impulsivity and more. If you are looking for someone to help you gain new perspective on your life. Or, someone to support you through hard decisions and hard times. Someone to process through traumatic life events with. Or even someone to help you leave behind unhelpful habits. Please reach out if you think we may be a good fit!
