Education & Experience

I started my journey in the helping professions with gaining admission to Adler University's Master of Art: Counseling Psychology and Art Therapy program. During the program I gained much experience during my double clinical internship at Cermak Health Services within the Cook County Department of Corrections, and a non-for-profit called Sacred Transformations. After Graduate school I was hired as a Qualified Mental Health Professional at Sertoma Centre in Matteson, IL; a non profit organization devoted to serving individuals with mental health disabilities. During this time I was able to formulate quality clinical services in the form of individual therapy, and Outpatient and Psychosocial rehabilitation groups. In July of 2020, amidst a global pandemic, I founded Creative Approaches to Therapy Inc. I knew there was a need for creative, engaging, and accessible therapeutic services and I wanted to use my experience and education to contribute to the fulfillment of these needs.
