Growing Awareness Counseling

I am an Illinois based Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. My experience comes from providing direct mental health services to individuals and couples. I have worked with a variety of presenting issues including, but not limited to, anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, grief/loss, and life transitions. I have a particular passion for working with women diagnosed with ADHD, new mothers, and parents raising children with special needs. I take a holistic approach, meaning I understand the interconnectedness of mind, body, relationships, and environment. I also draw from my knowledge as a certified yoga instructor to help clients recognize connections between the mind and body. I have a genuine interest in people and the different ways we make sense of ourselves and the world. I provide a comfortable space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors without fear of judgment. Although it is a collaborative approach, ultimately I believe the client knows themselves best and, with some support, has the ability to identify their desires and how to achieve them. Reaching out for support is a great first step towards understanding yourself better and making changes in your life. I offer 15 min. free consultations to understand what brings you to therapy and to see if we would be a good fit in working together. I currently do not take insurance however, I do offer sliding scale for those who need financial support. For every client that chooses to work with me, I am honored to support you on your journey.
