I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based out of Chicago, IL, and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I have over 22 years of experience in the social work field. My experience includes working with a diverse population of varying ages, sex, race, and cultures. I have had the opportunity to work in a multitude of settings, including schools, community-based agencies, and outpatient agencies. I work with adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationships, and occupational stress.
My approach to working with clients varies depending on their unique needs. My approach is client-centered, allowing those that I work with to have active involvement in their personal growth. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Holistic therapy, and Somatic therapy to help my clients make progress and find strategies to make them feel empowered.
I create a safe, welcoming space to be able to tell your story and feel comfortable discussing anything that you want to be open up about. I listen to everyone without judgment. Call or email me and set up your first appointment!
