Hi! I live in Indiana, but I graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago with my Master of Social Work. I have been an LCSW working in the social work field for over 18 years in many different areas. I recently decided that I could make more of a difference doing counseling with people who are seeking assistance with personal issues.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we will discuss what issues you are having that brought you to therapy and see if we can make a plan together to help resolve some of your issues and hopefully get you back on the right track.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am open to various lifestyles, and I won't pass any judgement on you. I am a skilled listener, and I can empathize with a multitude of situations.

Eclectic
If the shoe fits and all that --Not every client is receptive certain types of therapy, so if there is a technique from another type of therapy that seems like it might work with a particular client, I am am willing to use it, e. g., Mindfulness, Humanistic, Solution Focus, etc.
