DOT Substance Abuse Professional
The role of the SAP in the return-to-duty process, including the initial employee evaluation, referrals for education and/or treatment, the follow-up evaluation, continuing treatment recommendations, and the follow-up testing plan.
I am a fully qualified and trained Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) under US Department of Transportation regulations working independently to serve the Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin areas with offices located throughout the region. Through my many contacts and broad range of experience, I maintain close professional relations with the service providers in the Midwest . This allows me to provide client referrals to high quality education and/or treatment programs with rapid admission privileges that in turn accelerate the return-to-work process.
Clinician Therapist
I specialize in issues of anxiety, depression, relationship management, anger management, coping skills, men’s issues and traumatic backgrounds for Individuals, Couples and Families. I use multiple therapy approaches, including Afro-Centric Perspective, CBT, Person-Centered, Solution-Focused, and Mindfulness.
It's okay to talk about it. Life often brings unexpected events and difficult challenges that leave us feeling lost and unsure. Grief, trauma, relationship struggles, life transition, work-related issues, addiction, existential or spiritual doubts, and persistent feelings of guilt, shame, and inadequacy. These experiences can be demoralizing and defeating but also provide an immense opportunity for growth.

Online Therapy Available
I meet with couples in the online. Online therapy is an ideal and convenient way to meet with a therapist. It is proven to be just as effective as meeting in person. Our video platform is user-friendly and secure and similar to talking to someone on FaceTime or Zoom. All you need is internet connection and a private place to talk. You and your partner can be in separate locations during the session.
Sessions are 50-60 minutes in length and held once a week, unless there is a need for additional or reduced sessions. We offer day, evening, and weekend appointments to accommodate all schedules.
