I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Illinois with over two decades of professional work experience and continuing education. Over the years I have used cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma centered strategies to treat many, many clients with various concerns including stress, anxiety, grief ,loss, self-esteem, and body image concerns. Further, I have been a Christian since early childhood and I am a regular participant in two Bible study discussion groups. One in a Missionary Baptist church and one in a United Presbyterian church. My goal is to create a safe space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. I believe, as treatment progresses, there should be a new discovery for the client every few sessions.
Additional areas of focus: Aging and geriatric issues, Blended family issues, Body image, Commitment issues, Coping with natural or human-caused disaster, Domestic violence, Fatherhood issues, Forgiveness, Hoarding, Intellectual disability, Isolation / loneliness, Post-traumatic stress, Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), Self-love, Young adult issues
