Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Illinois. I received my Masters of Social Work from the Jane Adams School of Social Work at the University of Illinois at Chicago. I have been practicing since 2007. My background consists of working with individuals, families, and couples. I enjoy motivating and empowering clients, which cultivates behavioral change, and increases management of life's stressors.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together there will be brief introductions. I will then begin to gather information about your current challenges and/or struggles. This information will help me to create a plan tailored for our work in future sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Often times clients feel embarrassed, isolated, and burdened with life's stressors. In my practice, I've been successful creating a safe space for clients to share their struggles by providing compassion, empathy, active listening, and collaborating to create strategies for symptom management that lead to measurable progress.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has been a major treatment modality in my practice. CBT has helped many of my clients to identify cognitive distortions and challenge reoccurring thoughts by creating new more helpful behaviors. We’ll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. We’ll then use that knowledge to change your thinking patterns, which will help you lead a less anxious and stressed life.
Strength-Based
Strength based therapy encourages collaboration with clients, identifying strengths, and focuses on solutions. This method highlights client's strengths and resilience and has helped my clients to minimize avoidance, and build confidence.
