Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC)
Illinois, Ohio, Indiana & Missouri
After many years of experience in community mental health and private practice I founded Heartstrings Therapy and Wellness out of a deep passion for creating a space where people feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported. I believe every person — and every couple — deserves the safety to slow down, explore what is beneath the surface, and reconnect with the deeper feelings of their heart.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices, including Emotionally Focused Therapy, person-centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and acceptance-based techniques. I meet you where you are and work at your pace, creating a space shaped by Carl Rogers’ principle of unconditional positive regard.
I specialize in supporting adults navigating grief, adjustment challenges, anxiety, depression,trauma and life transitions, as well as couples looking to rebuild connection and communication. You do not have to be in crisis to deserve support.
