If you're curious what I'm like, watch this short YouTube video I did with one of my colleagues. In the video, I talk about one of the theories I use, called Dialectical Behavior Therapy, but I also discuss my general philosophy of counseling. I hope it will help you get a glimpse of what it might be like to talk with me. My goal in therapy is to create a trusting, confidential, and non-judgmental relationship with you, so that you feel safe to explore whatever is on your mind.
I believe that many mental health concerns are part of the normal human experience and I aim to help you make sense of the issues, brainstorm solutions, and work to gain more stability in your life, so that you can either get back to shining like you used to, or find a new way to shine. M.S.Ed in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northern Illinois University in May of 2018.
Completed a 30-hour training on crisis intervention skills for the national Crisis Text Line services. Just a little more about me in case you're curious.

Services
You've probably asked yourself this question, but chances are, if you're here, you're ready to make some changes and give counseling a try.
What you need to know is that counseling is a place where I guide you to explore your issues and help you remove the barriers that are keeping you from the life you want.
I do this by giving you space to tell your story, offering activities to foster deeper self-understanding, and offering you practical skills and alternative ways of being.
Counseling takes time, and the payoff is worth it.

Sit quietly somewhere, and for the next couple of minutes, do a body scan.
Starting with your feet, slowly move up your body in awareness all the way to the top of your head.
As you go, you're just noticing and describing your bodily sensations and NOTHING ELSE.
Use the diagram above to help you name the sensations.
Then, try it when you're in the shower.
When you're doing the dishes, when you're in an elevator, when you're having a conversation, when you're about to go to sleep.
Just see what comes up, and get really good at noticing, naming, and describing.
