Hi. I'm glad you're here. I am an LCSW based in Illinois. I have 22 years experience and love helping people. My commitment to you is to provide a space where there is no judgment…a space where you will be heard and validated, and where you will feel emotionally safe as we work together to achieve your goals. The ability to change and grow is within us all. I look forward to accompanying you on your journey!

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

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions and I'll address any thoughts or questions you may have. Then we'll go into the specific challenges you're facing. I'll ask you what you hope to achieve by working with me so I will know what your goals are. Then I'll be able to come up with a plan to help you address and overcome your challenges.

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

Having been a therapist for 22 years, my strength is in really getting to know my clients and developing a plan to meet their goals. I create a safe space where a person feels like they can share and truly be themselves. I am compassionate yet forward, and it is my goal to help you make progress and get to where you want to be in your life.
