My Approach to Helping
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), and I am currently accepting new clients. I provide counseling for adults on the North Side of Chicago and online throughout all of Illinois. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, autism, career issues, depression, executive functioning difficulties, family issues, life changes and transitions, LGBTQIA+ related issues, relationship issues, schoolwork stressors, and stress. I provide a safe and collaborative environment to help all the individuals I work with move toward their values, goals, and desired growth.
I utilize a variety of techniques from CBT, DBT, and ACT to support treatment goals through skill-building, gaining insights, and clarifying values. I employ an individualized, person-centered, and nonjudgmental approach when working with my clients to honor each of their individual wants, values, and needs during the collaborative therapeutic process.
I understand that there can be many barriers to starting therapy. My hope is to create a safe space to help individuals break down those barriers and feel comfortable moving toward their desired changes and living in line with their values. If you are considering therapy or have any questions at all, please reach out via email, phone, or my website to talk more.
