As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I am passionate about supporting individuals through challenges while utilizing a warm, non-judgmental, and relational approach. My professional journey is anchored in working to understand the unique challenges that face each individual while acknowledging the ways in which systemic barriers can hinder personal growth. My work with clients is to support them in recognizing and harnessing their strengths in the face of oppressive systems. I am driven by a commitment to social justice and to create spaces that foster safety and transformation.
I am passionate about working with individuals who are curious about or struggling with queer and trans identity exploration, anxiety and depression, guilt and shame, relationship and family challenges, sex and intimacy struggles, financial stressors and instability, feelings of being stuck, pregnancy, parenting and caregiving roles, and navigating grief and
disability. I received my Master of Arts in Social Service Administration from the University of Chicago in 2017. In addition to my work as a therapist, I work at Veterans Affairs as a community social worker with houseless veterans who experience an array of psychiatric, medical and social challenges.
