I'm a Clinical therapist (LCPC, CADC) based in Chicagoland area and have been working with mental health and addiction since 2014. I work with different therapy modalities, mostly focusing on CBT, DBT, ACT and trauma focused therapy. I have worked in different treatment settings and I found that best treatment approach is when we work together. I have experience working with adults, adolescents, families, couples and children and each population has milestones and struggles that are equally valid.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session we get to know each other, you get to share your story with me and we together develop a treatment plan to move forward with if the patient chooses to continue to work with me.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I'm a good listener, meet clients where they are and challenge them when needed. I focus on building a therapeutic relationship with clients as I believe that the client is the expert of themselves, there's autonomy in my client sessions. I possess the ability to help clients identify underlying issues that are causing client struggles.

My treatment methods

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

In session, together we explore values that are meaningful to the client to assist them in getting in touch with what really matters in the big picture. It also involves mindful action to help clients be open to their experiences and fully engage in their present actions. Best practice to improve anxiety management.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Through exercises in the session as well as “homework” exercises outside of sessions, together with client we are helped to develop coping skills, whereby they can learn to change their own thinking, problematic emotions, and behavior. Most of my experience lives within this treatment modality as it has significant research-based studies.

Couples Counseling

I'm Gottman Level I trained in working with couples. It's a method that explores foundation of relationships and provides couples with ways to rebuilt their relationship and strengthen those foundations.

Culturally Sensitive Therapy

Being an immigrant as a child as well as having easter European immigrant parents, cultural competency is something I always incorporate in all sessions with all clients.

Daialectical Behavior (DBT)

Working with client to try to understand how two things that seem opposite could both be true, best approach with personality disorder tendencies as well as depression and bipolar. Most DBT skills are thought, practiced in session and homework provided.
