Great to meet you!

I am a licensed clinical social worker and an ADHD-certified clinical services provider in Illinois, with immediate availability for new clients. My master's degree is in social work from Florida State University, and I have extensive experience working with adolescents, adults, families, and groups. I've worked in various therapeutic settings, including intensive outpatient, partial hospitalization, community mental health, and refugee emergency response. I have a unique perspective on supporting veterans and their families through grief, deployments, and life transitions.

My approach to therapy

I believe the therapeutic relationship is the key to success, and I acknowledge the need to always respect an individual's diverse and unique life experiences. I use a collaborative and warm approach in working with clients towards reaching their goals.

What you can expect from me

Together we will create treatment plan goals that align with your values and goals for recovery. In order to do this, I use a collaborative and warm approach in working with clients.
