My name is J.J. and I received my Master’s Degree in Applied Family and Child Studies with a Specialization in Marriage and Family Therapy in May of 2012 from Northern Illinois University. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist licensed by the State of Illinois. Along with my licensure, I'm also a Clinically Certified Trauma Professional (CCTP). A CCTP understands the effects of trauma on the brain and knows proficient methods to treat the trauma.
If you have ever wanted a therapist that connects with you on every level, I am the match for you! I possess an innate ability to connect with everyone. My previous clients have always felt heard, validated, and most importantly understood. On top of my ability to understand others, I use proven methods to help you understand yourself on a deeper level!
I want you to get what you came to therapy for! We will set goals together and work alongside each other to accomplish these goals. Let’s achieve the life you want to live together!
