Counselors in Quincy, IL

After three years of attending the Chicago School (Formerly known as the Chicago School of Professional psychology), l have completed my Ph.D in Counseling Education and Supervision. This accomplishment represents a significant milestone in my professional journey. My dissertation focused on learned helplessness in individuals who have experienced complex trauma, reflecting my deep commitment to advancing our understanding of mental health challenges. This research builds on my earlier academic achievements, including a Master of Science in School Counseling from Eastern Illinois University, which I obtained in 2019, and Bachelor of science in Psychology with a minor in Theology from Quincy University, which I completed in 2017.

Throughout out my career in both school and private practice, I have dedicated myself to making a positive impact on peoples lives. while my focus has evolved, my advocacy for those in need, especially individuals who have faced trauma, remains unwavering. With experience spanning all age groups, I have worn multiple hats- clinician, supervisor, and counseling educator. However, my primary role has always been that of a clinician. I strive to personalize each session, fostering strong therapeutic bonds and gaining insight into each client's unique perspective. I consider it my duty to support clients on their journey of self-improvement, embracing challenges with unwavering positivity. The opportunity to help individuals discover their true selves is a privilege that I cherish every day!
