Trauma changes the way you see yourself and the world around you. Anxiety and depression can make it hard to trust your own mind. If you have been carrying pain that feels too heavy to name, you are not alone in that. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master of Social Work from Loyola University Chicago, completed in 2008. I work with adults 18 and older, and I hold a deep belief in every person's capacity to grow, heal, and transform, no matter what they have been through.
I use ACT, CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing to meet you where you are. This work builds practical tools for managing overwhelming emotions, helps you make sense of painful experiences, and supports you in moving forward with greater clarity and resilience.
Taking the first step is often the hardest part. Whether you are working through something immense or trying to find your footing again, I would be honored to walk alongside you. Reach out when you are ready and we can figure out the right path forward together.
