I characterize myself as loyal, funny, and compassionate. Outside of counseling, I enjoy adventure, so I appreciate dining out and trying new cuisines, going to converts and music festivals, and traveling. Also, I love all things nature such as forest bathing and hiking.
Does your mental health take control of your decision-making skills? Are you overthinking more and more to the point it affects your daily living? If so, let us collaborate and explore those thoughts and feelings. I have been working in the behavioral and mental health field for 6 years and I specialize in cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and psychodynamic modalities. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in human development and learning from the University of Illinois at Chicago.
