Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Illinois. I received my Master's Degree more than 20 years ago and have been helping people improve their mental health ever since. I love working with women who want to overcome anxiety, depression, grief or trauma. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the most widely accepted therapy available today, to help you reframe thoughts and align your emotions with your thoughts. I help clients become the best version of themselves.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Having worked with individual adults for the past 20 years, I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges, (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress, and (c) achieve their dreams. I am warm and supportive, helping you realize the unique and wonderful things about you while challenging emotions to help you work through your issues.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I love working with adult individuals. My clients are eager to improve but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed, and anxious about their lives and careers.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I provide individual women with collaborative telehealth counseling and coaching. Are you facing midlife and not feeling as if you've accomplished enough? Are you troubled by depression, anxiety, codependency, alcoholism/substance abuse, or grief? Are you in a relationship that you'd like to improve? Your feelings make sense and you can become your authentic self. If you’re having too many nights when you're worried or too many days when you feel sad? I can help, My approach to therapy is evidence-based and holistic.
