Frankie is a fully Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from Indiana State University and a Master of Arts in Sociology from Western Illinois University. Frankie works with individuals, couples, and people navigating a wide range of relational and identity-related concerns, including those related to gender, sexual, and affectional identity. They are passionate about supporting members of the LGBTQIA+ community and their allies. Frankie believes that every person is unique and inherently valuable. With a caring and committed approach, Frankie uses this unique perspective to create a warm, emotionally safe, supportive, and affirming space where clients feel genuinely seen and heard. The goal is to provide a nonjudgmental environment where each client can begin—or continue—their journey toward healing and growth.
I helped a client I was working with to see that she actually had a very good relationship with her boyfriend. She initially was looking for couples counseling, which I do, and wanted to break up with him. She was reluctant to bring him in and wanted me to work with only her. Over time she slowly began to see his good qualities and that her relationship was more secure and loving that she initially realized. When she ended counseling with me, her relationship was stronger than ever. I was so happy to have helped her help herself.
Have you been struggling with anxious thoughts and self-doubt? I work with young adults, couples, and LGBTQ+ individuals who are managing anxiety, life transitions, and those seeking support for self-esteem issues. Whether you’re working through difficulties, building coping skills, or exploring your personal goals, I’ll work with you to create a growth plan that feels empowering and achievable. I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with you as an empathetic partner.
In our first session will have an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We’ll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy. Therapy is a process, and we’ll continue to build our work together overtime. It’s completely normal to feel nervous about your first appointment. We’ll take it one step at a time, and I’m here to guide you through each step of the process.
My therapy journey began in sociology, and I developed a deep respect and curiosity about human resilience and the desire to help others find strength through life’s hardest challenges. During my graduate training, I had the opportunity to work with all sorts of people. This experience showed me the powerful role therapy can play in recovery and solidified my commitment to supporting others through their healing journeys. I’m continually driven by the fundamental belief that everyone has the potential for positive growth and change. Seeing my clients gain confidence or find peace makes my work incredibly rewarding.
Highlights
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I believe that therapy is a partnership. Together, we’ll identify and set goals that matter to you, whether they focus on improving relationships, building self-esteem, or another personal objective. As we work together, your goals may evolve as you gain new insights. We can adapt our plan at any time to ensure it’s always meaningful and relevant to you. I’m here to provide you with the support and tools you need to continue to move closer to where you want to be, even when things feel challenging. I want to do what works for you!
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I utilize evidence-based therapies, including Psychotherapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Culturally Sensitive, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Existential Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy & Trauma-Focused Therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am very collaborative, warm, caring and a great active listener. I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I am also calm patient and will work to help clients achieve their goals. It is all about the client.
