I am a licensed clinical social worker in Illinois with years of experience helping individuals and couples navigate life's challenges. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
For our first session, we will spend time getting acquainted and begin building a solid, effective therapeutic relationship. I strive to provide a warm, welcoming environment for clients and I encourage them to ask questions as they come up throughout the process.
I keep myself well-informed on issues affecting the LGBTQ community. I also work hard at developing and maintaining cultural competence and humility.
I use CBT to help my clients understand how to make small behavioral changes that can have a big impact on their mental health.
