I have worked in a professional capacity for the past ten years providing counseling services to individuals, couples, and families. In 2003, I received the National Certified Counselor (NCC) credential after completing my Master of Science Degree in Counseling from Western Illinois University. In 2012, I completed an 18 month residency in marriage and family therapy and became licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I am a Clinical Fellow with the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT), and previously served as Secretary for the Illinois Association for Marriage and Family Therapy. I also earned the designation of Certified Employee Assistance Professional (CEAP) and am a trained Prepare/Enrich premarital assessment facilitator.
My employment career has allowed me to successfully help individuals involved in the criminal justice system, combat veterans suffering from PTSD, family members of veterans, and active duty service members. I also facilitate the Quad Cities Crohn’s and Colitis Support Group.
