About

I have worked in education and mental health for the past 27 years - which is a shockingly long time! I tell people and firmly believe that I am very blessed to be able to peek into people's lives and help them find greater peace. Everyone says it, but I genuinely do not judge what people bring to me. I've been in this field long enough to know that everyone is doing the best they can, with what they have, where they are. I strive to welcome everyone from all walks of life, but have specialized in couples and adults.

Education & Licensure
Bachelors Degree in English Education with a minor in Communication and Marketing from Monmouth College, Monmouth, Illinois; Masters in Science Degree in Counseling from Western Illinois University, Macomb, Illinois; Educational Science degree in School Psychology from The Chicago School, Chicago, Illinois.
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

My hope is that anyone who reaches out to me will find a receptive voice and a welcoming place, no matter where they are coming from or how they view the world. After all of my years of working with people, I can honestly say that I enjoy each person who crosses my path and can appreciate all of the differences that make each person unique. My goal is to help people find the best version of themselves, whatever that may be.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I employ a solution-focused approach to counseling. Very few people should see a counselor forever. I want to help my clients find the issue within their life that is causing them distress and support them in making whatever adjustments will bring them the most peace. While some deeper discussions can be necessary, the goal is resolution.
