I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Illinois that specializes in working with women aged 25 and older. I have 15 years of professional experience. I provide a strengths-based and client-centered approach to therapy. I believe that each woman seeking help has strengths and it is my goal to help her during therapy to discover her strengths and to utilize those to continue the healing process. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and chronic health conditions. I have an extensive background in domestic abuse and chronic health conditions. I believe that you are the expert on your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started! I look forward to working with you.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions then dive in the specifics of what is bringing you to therapy. Together we will formulate a plan to move forward with session.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I combine client centered, cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma focused therapy, mindfulness, solution focused, and strengths based approaches to therapy. I often provide information and resources to my clients to give them tools to use outside of the therapy session as well. I tailor each session to what the client needs at that session. I do not come in with preplanned ideas on what we will discuss rather I want you to share with me what is needed each week.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I feel my biggest strengths is listening to my clients. I have extensive history in working with victims and survivors of domestic violence, women facing anxiety and depression, and chronic health conditions.
