I am a dedicated and seasoned Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with an extensive 18+ year background in the field of Social Work. My educational journey started at the University of Illinois, Champaign, where I earned my bachelor's degree, and I furthered my expertise by obtaining a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Illinois, Chicago.
My commitment to providing holistic care for children and adolescents is multifaceted, drawing from solution-focused therapy, mindfulness techniques, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and strengths-based practices. I empower my clients to identify their strengths and resources, guiding them in developing practical solutions to overcome challenges and achieve their goals. Moreover, I specialize in emotion regulation and anxiety management, recognizing the prevalence of these issues in my practice. Through evidence-based interventions, I equip my clients with tools and strategies to navigate overwhelming emotions and reduce anxiety, fostering positive change and a sense of control and well-being.
My approach is also rooted in trauma-informed practices. I acknowledge the impact of trauma on mental health and tailor interventions accordingly, while creating a safe and trauma-informed space for clients to explore and address their challenges
My mission is to deliver high-quality, individualized care to clients seeking support. If you or your loved ones are seeking a compassionate LCSW with expertise in mindfulness, anxiety management, trauma-informed care, and evidence-based therapies, I welcome the opportunity to help create a path to healing and growth.
