Navigating and prioritizing mental health can feel like an isolating and daunting experience, you do not have to do it alone. Together we will work towards the things you value; whether you're hoping to build insight into racing thoughts or feeling overwhelmed by difficult emotions. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in trauma, mood & anxiety disorders, and neurodiversity affirming care. I also have a passion for supporting individuals who are seeking to learn mindfulness skills, challenge unhelpful patterns, and may identify as an 'overachieiver' and/or 'people-pleaser'.
I earned my MSW from Loyola University of Chicago and a BA from Marquette University. My training includes working in higher levels of care providing full-fidelity Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and advanced trauma treatments (e.g., Cognitive Processing Therapy and DBT Prolonged Exposure Therapy).
My hope is to assist you in creating a space you feel comfortable showing up authentically and without apologies. "Claiming your right to exist without limits includes giving yourself permission to rest" -Dr. Jenny Tzu-Mei Wang.
