I am aware that beginning your search for a therapist can be quite overwhelming. Are you trying to figure out the "new" you? If you are ready for real change in your life and are tired of being stuck in the same routine, or same unhelpful thought patterns, then we will work well together. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with trauma, relationship issues, anxiety, and life transitions. I use EMDR to help if you have experienced trauma. I am licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). My style is direct, down to earth and focuses on a collaborative approach. Here is a little about me: I graduated frim Loyola University Chicago in 2014. I have practiced social work in hospitals, group homes, and community mental health settings. I love trying new things, spending time with my family, and traveling. I love my cat Moe.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During the first session we will focus on what brings you to therapy. It is important to me, to create a safe place for you to open up and begin to tell your story. We will work together to create a plan to achieve your goals.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I most commonly use CBT and EMDR. It is important that I use what tools will be most fitting for your individual needs.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
It is the most import to me to make a connection. I thrive upon making therapy a safe space to process the most challenging times in your life, or to talk about your most delicate fears.
