Description
I am a passionate and compassionate therapist utilizing a mindful, person-centered, and trauma-informed approach. Genuineness, empathy, and respect have always been hallmarks of my interactions with my clients, and you can expect to experience the same in therapy as a client of mine (along with a dose of humor). I believe that clients are experts in their own experience, and together, I hope to empower you to make the choices in your life that will bring about sustainable change and fulfillment.
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and a certified alcohol and drug counselor (CADC), and my professional experience includes working with adults in a variety of different settings. My specialties include anxiety, depression, schizophrenia spectrum disorders, bipolar disorder, and substance use concerns/disorders. I practice acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), motivational interviewing (MI), and am trained in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR).
In my personal time, you can often find me watching the latest reality show that has dropped on Netflix. I love the city of Chicago and can be found taking advantage of all it has to offer, including lakefront parks, sporting events, restaurants, and museums.
Over the last decade of my career, my clients have never ceased to inspire me with their resilience and capacity for change. So, whatever brings you here, I am happy you made it, and I look forward to working with you.
