About me

I am licensed in Illinois with 3 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, anger management, motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. I received my Bachelor's degree in Social Work from the University of Missouri- Columbia and then my Master's in Social Work from The University of Illinois at Chicago. I have experience working in a substance use treatment center, child welfare, crisis hotlines, schools, and hospitals.
