As a licensed therapist in Illinois, I have worked as a school social worker for 12 years. My approach centers on helping individuals cultivate self-love, discover their life purpose, and develop healthy coping strategies for stress, anxiety, and self-esteem concerns.
With a faith-informed perspective, I create a compassionate space where clients can explore personal growth, work through anger management, and build resilience. My therapeutic style emphasizes empowering individuals to embrace their inherent worth.
Drawing from over a decade of experience as a social worker, I'm committed to walking alongside you as you navigate personal transformation, develop stronger self-compassion, and create meaningful change in your life. Together, we'll work to uncover your strengths and develop practical tools for emotional wellness.
Additional areas of focus: Body image, Life purpose, Self-love, Young adult issues
