MPsych(Clin), LCPC

BIOGRAPHY

From an early age, I became aware of an essential need for non-judgemental support and active listening through my own development. I truly know what it feels like to not have that level of support/care and I never want anyone to feel as if their voice doesn't matter. I want to be that advocate for children and young adults who feel like no one is in their corner.

My specialties are working with individuals struggling with mood disorders and survivors of abuse from ages 2-23.

I am striving to provide a safe environment for people to learn how to safely regulate their emotions independently. I want my clients to gain confidence in themselves and strive to grow so they can live a more abundant life.

Education

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the State of Illinois. I earned my Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in psychology and equestrian therapy from William Woods University and my Master of Psychology (Clinical) degree (MPsych Clin) from Lindenwood University.
