LCSW, 10 years of experience
I am a LCSW in the state of Illinois and have been practicing for over 10 years. I have experience in the health care field, working with adults, understanding the aging process, and the many ways that grief appears in our lives. I am a certified grief counselor and help my clients to understand, normalize, and accept the grieving process as they work through these difficult feelings. My practice is focused on using a supportive and collaborative approach to help my clients find strength and resilience in their lives.
In our first session, I like to get a sense of your background and why you wanted to start therapy. Knowing some information about your life and past experiences can help me to support you in the difficulties you are facing currently. This allows me to support you in future sessions.
I have a great deal of experience with the challenges of the healthcare system and the ways that these challenges can impact emotional health.
I help people struggling with grief, depression and anxiety to work through these challenging emotions and live with more hope. I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Grief Therapy, and Supportive Therapy in my work with clients. My goal is for my clients to always feel heard and supported.
I use CBT techniques to help clients process their feelings and reframe thoughts. The way we think and our inner dialouge often impacts how we feel. By learning to adjust our thoughts, we can change how we feel.
I believe that grief shows up in many areas in our lives. Grief therapy techniques can be helpful in a variety of situations that involve any type of loss - whether the loss is physical or emotional.
I use a supportive approach in my practice to make sure that clients feel validated. When clients feel empathy from their therapist, it can lead to feelings of safety, trust and increased motivation in treatment.
