Midwest Clinical Counseling Associates

With nearly a decade of experience as a therapist I can say that the most rewarding aspect of my job is seeing people become “unstuck” in their lives. At some point or another, we have all found ourselves doing, thinking, or feeling things that seem to do us more harm than good. I want to help you examine these things, and get to the “why” behind them—because that is where healing can begin. I graduated from the University of Illinois in Urbana- Champaign, Summa Cum Laude, and went on to complete my Masters degree in Clinical Psychology at Wheaton College (IL). My experience in the field includes working in outpatient therapy clinics, intensive outpatient programs, psychiatric emergency rooms, the National Suicide Lifeline, and substance use programs. I have extensive experience treating adults and young adults with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and personality disorders. I also have a special interest in treating addictions (including family members affected by addiction), those struggling with life transitions, professionals, and also working through issues surrounding existential matters (examining one’s values, beliefs, purpose). I utilize an eclectic approach to therapy and draw on psychodynamic, CBT, DBT, and existential approaches in my work. My hobbies include golfing, trying out obscure restaurants, geography, snowboarding, and cheering on my favorite sports teams.
