You don’t have to go through this alone. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Illinois, I am here to help. My experience practicing in outpatient community mental health spans across diverse populations and ages in both group and individual therapy settings. I will work with you to build hope, identify strengths, cope with difficult thoughts and emotions, adjust thinking and behaviors, and alleviate the symptoms that are preventing you from living your life more fully.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll get to know each other, starting with brief introductions. We'll then delve into your present situation and specific challenges that are causing you discomfort. From this, I will develop a basic understanding of your needs, and we will discuss which therapeutic interventions might be helpful for you. This will help us create a tailored plan to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Becoming a therapist has been a lifelong dream of mine, years in the making. My practice is informed by 20 years of experience in health care and international social justice where I learned to connect deeply with others of diverse backgrounds and their stories. I strive to create an atmosphere of comfort by putting my clients at ease, normalizing their experiences, and partnering with them to resolve their concerns.
