I am currently only offering Teletherapy services.
My private practice background has given me the pleasure of working with a variety of ages and diagnosis in both therapy and diagnostic evaluation. Common issues that I treat include anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, intrusive thoughts, anger problems, codependency/personal boundary issues, and interpersonal distress. I have special interest in parent-child relationships and hope to help parents improve overall family functioning and satisfaction through education and parent-coaching.
I use warmth, safety, and a nonjudgmental environment to help clients explore their concerns. I also employ a variety of evidence-based techniques and skills that will help clients to overcome their obstacles. As we work together, you will develop insight into your problems, build self-awareness of attitudes, thoughts, and behaviors, grow accountable to yourself and your faith, and learn to use coping skills that will be most effective for your symptoms.
I earned my Bachelor's from University of Illinois Chicago in 2009 and worked in a social service position with Alzheimer's and dementia patients for 3 years. Here, I found that I loved working with individuals and families and being a source of guidance for those who are suffering. I then pursued my Masters at Illinois School of Professional Psychology at Argosy Univeristy in Schaumburg and graduated in 2015. I previously worked doing psychological assessment for disability claimants as well as outpatient populations along with counseling.
As I progressed through graduate school and worked with many people in my career, it became painfully clear how much modern-day psychology leaves out spirituality as way to help people cope with life. My Catholic faith is very important to me, and I love learning more about it through books, podcasts, faith groups, and my own parish. There is so much it has to offer people and compliments the tools we have in the psychological field quite well. I am eager to help people who are struggling with a variety of issues to better understand themselves and work to discern God's plan for their life. I am a patient listener and thoughtful in my feedback to my clients. I will use restatements to help validate feelings and ensure that I am understanding what someone is trying to convey. If this sounds like what you need in your life right now, please schedule an intake today. I look forward to meeting with you!
