I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Illinois with more than 10 years of experience providing therapy and counseling to people struggling with a wide variety of difficulties.
In 2019, my youngest son was born with a devastating diagnosis, leading to an initial 8-month hospital stay, more than 20 surgeries, and a complete revamping of my understanding of life and what it means to do more than survive.
I'd love the opportunity to take what I've learned through my formal education AND what I've learned through living this difficult and beautiful life to help you thrive in the best way possible. It IS possible to survive and even thrive through trauma, stress, pain, depression
I focus on acceptance, reality, and progress. I aim to help others do more than just survive through the difficulties we face in life.
I am strengths-based with a strong focus on taking a realistic approach to our life and circumstances, identifying what options are available to us, and finding ways to move through them as comfortably as possible. I want to see my clients improve their functioning in life. I use CBT, DBT, Strengths Based, and an ever-evolving eclectic style.
