Hi! My name is Nell. I am a licensed clinical professional counselor and earned my master’s degree in counseling at DePaul University. I have several years of experience working individually with clients of various ages and backgrounds.
I specialize in helping my clients address and strengthen their mental, physical, emotional, and social needs that exhibit in the form of anxiety, depression, trauma, challenging life transitions, low self-esteem, inner child wounds, and relationship with self and others.
While I have the knowledge, skills, and experience to serve clients of all ages and backgrounds, I have a special interest in helping adults who are struggling with patterns of toxic relationships. I am also passionate about helping adults to strengthen their self-love, embrace their power, cultivate healthy relationships, and discover the beauty of their journeys.
I strive to create a safe and friendly space for my clients and to build genuine and compassionate therapeutic relationships in order to fully support them in their healing.
I have a holistic and person-centered approach and use techniques and interventions based on each unique client and their needs. My framework is eclectic and borrows from various approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and psychodynamic.
I believe that everything is connected and seek to nurture the mind, body, and soul so that clients can free themselves from the ropes holding them back from living beautiful, joyous lives.
