How I Support Illinois Clients

  • Life Transitions & Women’s Issues: Reclaiming your sense of identity, establishing healthy boundaries, and overcoming emotional overwhelm.

  • Faith-Integrated Counseling: Optional Christian counseling for clients who wish to weave their spiritual beliefs into the therapeutic process.
