About us

I see adolescent and adult clients in the Oswego office in person and via telehealth. I specialize in working with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, stress management, relationship issues, grief/loss, trauma, caregiver burnout, self-esteem issues, illness/end of life issues, and more. I have over 20 years of experience working in several settings including outpatient mental health clinics, hospitals, community resource agencies, and hospice/skilled care settings. I work with clients using a strengths based approach, utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance Commitment Therapy models. The greatest joy I have as a therapist is helping clients make changes in their lives that can bring peace, contentment, resolution, and improve self-confidence.

I see children, adolescents and adults in the Plainfield and Oswego office in person and via telehealth. I am the president/owner of KCS Counseling. I utilize a client centered approach where I give unconditional positive regard to my clients in a non-judgmental therapeutic setting. I integrate CBT and DBT skills that are evidence-based for treatment. I have 18 years of experience working in community mental health, crisis services, public schools and a therapeutic day school. I have seen clients meet their treatment goals and develop positive coping skills to effectively manage their distressing symptoms. The greatest gift of therapy is the therapeutic alliance between the therapist and the client which elicits change and allows the client to use tools that they learned to make lifelong gains.
