(she/her)
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Illinois with six years of clinical experience working with adults and adolescents. I provide support for individuals navigating grief, anxiety, depression, career-related stress, and family or relationship concerns. I strive to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental therapeutic environment where clients feel safe, supported, and understood. Using evidence-based interventions and a collaborative approach, my goal is to help clients build insight, develop effective coping skills, and move toward meaningful and lasting growth.
During our first session, we will focus on introductions and establishing a strong therapeutic foundation. This time allows us to get to know one another, review expectations, and ensure that therapy feels like a good fit for you. We will then begin discussing your goals and collaboratively develop a measurable treatment plan to guide our work and track your progress over time. Healing is a gradual process, and meaningful change takes time. Throughout our work together, I will encourage you to practice self-compassion and extend yourself grace as you move through this journey.
With six years of experience working with diverse individuals, I utilize evidence-based, client-centered approaches to help identify underlying concerns and develop realistic, attainable goals. I view clients as the experts in their own lives and work collaboratively to enhance insight, clarify values, and reduce cognitive and emotional distress. Through structured interventions and reflective exploration, my role is to support informed decision-making and promote meaningful, sustainable change. I look forward to helping you strengthen self-awareness and access your internal resources.
I am passionate about working with individuals who are motivated to create positive change in their lives. Many of my clients already recognize their areas for growth and are seeking practical tools to help translate insight into action. I frequently support clients in strengthening healthy boundaries, improving communication, and increasing self-confidence and self-advocacy. Drawing from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), strengths-based, and solution-focused approaches, I collaborate with clients who are ready to make intentional—even difficult—choices in order to turn their goals into meaningful and lasting change.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have worked with clients who have experienced negative thinking/self-talk. CBT is used to help challenge and reframe your thinking. I take the approach of reframing and cognitive restructuring. This can be done through various methods: journaling, worksheets, video recordings, etc.
Psychoeducation
Psychoeducation is used to educate you on the symptoms you may be experiencing. It is a critical piece in the therapeutic process as it can be helpful to put a name to your emotions/thoughts/behaviors.
