About Me
I am currently working toward my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at the University of Illinois Springfield.
Through my clinical training, I have had the opportunity to work with diverse populations. I have the most experience working with individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, and trauma, and I have also worked alongside individuals navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, personality disorders, eating disorders, and more. I genuinely enjoy working with people from all walks of life, and I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable being themselves.
I completed my certification in Autism & Trauma: Neurodiversity-Affirming Care, and I am also working toward completing my EMDR therapy training. My therapeutic approach is grounded in person-centered and compassion-focused therapy. I believe in meeting each person where they are and working together toward their goals.
I work with adolescents and adults and welcome clients from diverse backgrounds and experiences. If you think I might be a good fit for what you are looking for, please do not hesitate to reach out. I would be happy to connect. You can email me here.
