Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC)

I am a co-owner of Clear Sky Counseling Services, PLLC.  I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC).  I am an established clinician who has worked in Lake County since 2006.  Originally from Southern Illinois, I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville in 2003.  Following graduation, I moved to Chicago to attend The Chicago School of Professional Psychology.  I graduated in 2005 with a Master of Arts in Forensic Psychology.  I have worked in various mental health settings, as non-profit, government, and private practice/contract throughout Lake County.  In addition to my LCPC, I hold two specialized licenses for evaluation and treatment. 

My therapeutic approaches involve treatment planning, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, with awareness brought by psychodynamic therapy. 

My top priority is for you to feel supported in a nonjudgmental, safe environment. This therapeutic alliance is the most potent factor in healing.
