I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who graduated from Southern Illinois University Carbondale. I work with anyone 18 years and older. I help people with multiple different life situations (divorce, domestic violence, and other adjustments in life) and symptoms (sadness, racing thoughts, trouble sleeping, ect). In addition, I work with those in the transgender population as they navigate affirming their gender. Each patient will be met where they are at with compassion and warmth.
In our first session, there will be introductions, limits of confidentiality discussed, and then we will dive in to what brings you to therapy and create treatment goals.
I have nine years of licensed clinical experience working with a wide array of people from different economic, gender, and cultural backgrounds. I will always meet you where you are at mentally and emotionally.
I have been using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for 9 years to assist patients with reframing their thoughts and modify behaviors.
I have been trained on Solution Focused Brief Treatment and utilize it to help you reach your goals. When using this modality, we will focus on ways to achieve your goals with an emphasis on your strengths and resources.
I have spent the last 7 years working with transgender individuals, empowering them and exploring what it means for them to live authentically.
