Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Indiana and Illinois. I received my Masters from the University of Illinois at Chicago and have been working in the field for 8 years. I am passionate about coming alongside others and helping them through their journey of healing from anxiety, depression and grief. I'll collaborate with you in working toward personalized goals in a safe and welcoming environment. Counseling can foster personal growth to better understand yourself and develop a toolset you can access to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I truly look forward to meeting you.

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

In the first session you can expect to build rapport with me through my active listening, empathy and impartiality. We will then discuss the current challenges you're facing and what brought you to therapy. This will help me to create personalized goals and a tailored treatment plan for us to work through in the next sessions.

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

I have found over the years that being myself and encouraging clients to do the same is the best way to build rapport and healthy communication. I feel honored to be a part of the clients journey toward healing and wholeness.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use CBT in order for clients to work through the interconnectedness of their thoughts, feelings and behaviors. This helps clients with anxiety, depression and grief as well as many other diagnoses.
