I’m a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and a CADC. Therapy is my second career—I retired from nursing after 30 years, and my work in mental health is the continuation of what I’ve always valued: helping people move from illness to wellness, with care, structure, and real support.
I graduated from George Williams College and continued my education through Aurora University to strengthen my clinical foundation. I’m also a certified grief professional counselor, and I specialize in helping individuals and families navigate loss, transitions, and the emotions that come with grief.
I recently received approval for my doctorate in theology, and I will be graduating in May. My approach honors your story and supports healing in a way that aligns with your values—whether you’re looking for faith-informed guidance or focused mental health support.
