Hello, I'm Danica, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am a strengths-based therapist based in Illinois with more than 10 years of experience working with a wide variety of clients and a wide variety of difficulties.

Children/ teens and their parents are experiencing anxiety at an all time high level. We have developed a new program that treats both parties with a structured and successful approach. We will teach your children about their anxiety, why it occurs, how they can manage it and how they can succeed at home and school. The parents are taught how to manage their child's anxiety and not inadvertently reinforce it. Many parents feel helpless as they watch their child become more and more anxious, let us help you learn how to not only manage the anxiety, but help your family thrive in these difficult times.

Success of therapeutic change begins with the relationship between you and your therapist. I believe effective change grows from a foundation of trust, respect, and the understanding of your desire for self-improvement. I work with you collaboratively to identify areas of concern while providing support throughout the counseling process. You have unique experiences that shape who you are, and how you respond to situations. I believe in helping others understand how these experiences influence their responses in the present.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I am trained in EMDR and Reiki, and have a passion for trauma work.

Skip's ideal client is not determined by their diagnosis, problems, or goals. Rather, it is someone who may be afraid or angry, but is still WILLING to work - because they are tired of hurting and struggling, and want their life to change. With a primary focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy concentrating in Mindfulness, clients are able to process the experiences from their life on deeper and more meaningful levels. Then, Skip works together with clients to identify ways to avoid emotional responses (like anger, defensiveness, or fear) and come up with real-world solutions to help clients achieve their goals.

Therapy is a way to address the issues that stop you from being able to work, love, and feel fulfillment in your world. I tend to work with adults , adolescents, and couples.
