I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Doctorate in Social Work from Chicago, Illinois, with over 20 years of experience in social work and mental health and over 4 years as a psychotherapist. I've worked with clients through a wide range of concerns and issues including: post-traumatic stress, depression, low self-esteem, relationship complications, family conflict, grief, loss, and emotional abuse.
In our first session together, you can anticipate a welcoming and supportive environment where the primary focus is on establishing a strong therapeutic alliance. We will explore your current emotional state, as well as discuss some goals and expectations. Importantly, this initial session is an opportunity to assess if there is a good fit and to collaboratively outline a treatment plan.

In my practice, I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) by helping clients identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. I use evidence-based techniques such as cognitive restructuring, behavioral activation, and skills training to promote more adaptive coping strategies. This approach is especially effective for managing anxiety, depression, and relationship issues, as it empowers clients to take an active role in their healing by understanding the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and actions.
