Mindfulness is something that I encourage all of my clients to practice. I believe that taking a mindfulness approach can help individuals to slow down, return to the present moment, and really tap in to how they are feeling and what is coming up for them somatically and emotionally.

I have been recognized as a certified alcohol and drug counselor (CADC) by the Illinois Certification Board. I come equipped with both the professional and personal experience to not only treat addiction in my clients, but with a first-hand understanding of what it takes to escape from the depths of addiction.

I am a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC) through the Illinois Certification Board. I come equipped with both personal and professional experience in treating addiction. I know first-hand what it takes to overcome this fatal, progressive, and chronic disease.

I have worked with many clients who suffer from major depressive disorder in a variety of settings from my current role as an individual outpatient therapist at Head/Heart, to training at a community mental health center, and working at a residential treatment center prior to my current role.

I have experience treating clients with crippling anxiety at a variety of levels of care (outpatient, intensive outpatient or partial hospitalization, and residential). I too, have personal experience battling and overcoming anxiety. I use a combination of mindfulness and CBT when working with anxiety clients.

I am a NARM (Neuro-affective relational model) level two trained therapist. This allows me to be highly effective in treating complex (developmental/relational) trauma. I have experience treating C-PTSD at the outpatient level.

I have both personal and professional experience in treating addictions of all kinds (substances and behaviors). I believe that being a person in long-term recovery myself, I have an upper hand at helping others find a solution to their issues with addiction. In addition to being a licensed clinical social worker, I am also a certified alcohol and drug counselor. I have worked at various levels of care, including: outpatient; intensive outpatient; and residential settings.

I tend to incorporate a multidisciplinary approach, however, the heart of my practice is centered around NARM (the neuro-affective relational model), a compassionate, humanstic, and holistic approach to addressing C-PTSD or relational/developmental trauma.
