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.
