A wise person once told me “Finding the right therapist is like trying on shoes. Your pick needs to have support in the right places and you’ll know you’ve made the right choice by how they make you feel.” I couldn’t agree more! Please allow me to thank you for reading my profile and allowing me to tell you a little more about my service to others. I am a licensed clinical social worker in Illinois with over 14 years of experience working with children and families. Much of my background comes from serving school-aged children with a variety of different abilities. This also includes providing support to parents to find programming, services, and interventions for their children’s social-emotional needs. I have provided therapy to those experiencing anxiety, depression, discord in personal relationships, ADHD, Autism, and issues resulting from trauma and abuse. One of the foundations of my therapeutic practice is building upon the strengths of my client. I believe that everyone has many skills that can help them create the life and experiences they desire. I also help clients uncover behavior and thought patterns that are causing distress or impairing their interactions or abilities. I am grateful for your time and commitment to the goals we will develop together. I look forward to hearing from you. Let me know if you’d think we’d be a good fit!

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois. I am also a Certified Case Manager and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I have over 10 years of experience working with people with a wide array of mental health challenges. The most important thing to me is meeting the client where they are at. I am here for you to provide support and guidance toward meeting your treatment goals. My clinical approach is generally based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), but I like to incorporate techniques from various treatment theories, based on the needs of my client. I have found the most success in working with clients looking for a "here and now" approach and who are willing to put in some time and "homework" outside of the counseling session in order to meet treatment goals. I enjoy working with people from diverse populations, including the LGBTQ+ community.I am looking forward to getting started in supporting you to be your best self! **Currently I have limited availability, exclusively in the mornings (CST), please check my schedule to make sure it will align with yours.**
