I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois. I hold a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Wheaton College as well as a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Bryan College. Over the course of my career I have worked in several settings including community mental health, schools, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and private outpatient care. I approach therapy from a place of sincerity and compassion, believing all individuals have unique gifts and strengths. I come from a multicultural background, and place  great importance on learning the culture and values of each of my clients. I commonly use a blend of narrative therapy, acceptance & commitment therapy, art and trauma informed CBT in my work. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, time outdoors, baking, reading, and traveling as well as staying active with my two dogs.
