Let's Connect (708) 726-7272
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!

Groups

Samsara is a Sanskrit word that means ‘the whole universe’ and signifies 'cyclic change'. I chose Samsara Wellness as the name of my therapy practice because I believe in helping clients connect to their whole selves so they can be their best selves! Samsara Wellness provides extra support and guidance through challenging situations or if you’re just ready to move in a new direction in your life. I provide psychotherapy and somatic therapy to connect the mind, body, and emotions. Subscribe for more information at https://akilalove.kit.com/fda05201ca
