Great to meet you!
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 17 years of experience in the behavioral health field. I earned my undergraduate degree from Purdue University, where I double-majored in Psychology and Law and Society, and obtained my Master of Social Work from Aurora University.
Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work with adolescents, adults, and individuals in later adulthood, addressing a wide range of behavioral health and emotional concerns.
I incorporate psychoeducation into my practice to help clients develop a deeper understanding of their emotions, perceptions, thoughts, and behaviors. I believe increasing self-awareness and understanding can empower individuals to develop healthier perspectives, strengthen coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting changes in their lives.
I am currently expanding my knowledge and clinical understanding of perimenopause and menopause, with a particular focus on how the hormonal, emotional, cognitive, and physiological changes associated with these life transitions can impact women’s mental health, relationships, and overall well-being. My goal is to better support and empower women through these transitions by providing informed, compassionate, and individualized therapeutic care.
