From a young age, I knew I wanted to be a helper! After a career in teaching, I realized my passion for emotional healing and earned a Master’s in Counseling from Eastern Illinois University. Now a Licensed Professional Counselor and certified School Counselor, I am eager to help individuals feel heard, understood, and supported as they learn about themselves and the world around them. I believe people have the power to heal when given a safe space and a trusting relationship. My approach is person-centered, incorporating cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused techniques. I’m especially passionate about helping children and adolescents process trauma through play therapy, sandtray therapy, and creative expression. I love working with all ages, with a focus on ages 5 through young adulthood. Teachers and parents—who face unique challenges—are also welcome!
Counseling is for everyone! Asking for help is a strength, and we all need support from time to time. No matter what challenges you’re facing, there is hope for change, growth, and healing. I truly believe in the power of therapy to transform lives, and I would love to help you on your journey!
