Welcome!
Life is not always easy. For some, perhaps it never has been. In times of struggle and transition having a compassionate, competent therapist can be immensely beneficial. Whether needing support, processing grief, working through trauma or any number of other life stressors I will be present to assist you in making lasting change. I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 25 years' experience. I would love to assist you in making positive changes in your life.
Life can feel like a lot sometimes, whether you're navigating anxiety, grief, addiction, or the emotional weight of caring for a loved one. Maybe things feel tangled, or you're used to being the strong one for everyone else. You don’t have to figure it all out alone. I want to understand your story, what’s been heavy lately, and what you’re hoping will feel different. Together, we can begin to make sense of it all and help you feel more steady, supported, and like yourself again.
If you’ve been feeling anxious, stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns, frustrated, or weighed down by self-doubt, you don’t have to sort through it alone. For over 20 years, I’ve helped individuals, couples, and families work through anxiety, conflict, anger, and self-esteem challenges. I’m an LCSW with an MSW from the University of Maryland at Baltimore.
I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Illinois with over 8 years of experience supporting individuals across the lifespan. I began my career as an Early Childhood Teacher which sparked my passion for helping others and transitioned to social work. I believe prioritizing mental health is essential to overall stability and well-being. I have experience working with children, adolescents adults and older adults who are managing PTSD, grief depression, anxiety and adjustment disorders.
You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or worn down by anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, or the weight of daily life. Many of my clients come in wanting clarity, stability, and someone steady to talk to. I offer a calm space to slow down, understand what’s going on, and feel more grounded. If life has felt heavy or unmanageable, you don’t have to sort through it alone.
My therapy room is a space where you don’t have to explain yourself. You can show up, fully and authentically, without the need to code-switch or justify your experiences. Our sessions are a dedicated time for you to be heard and understood without judgment.
As a licensed clinical social worker, I work with adolescents and young adults to find meaning and purpose while working through the mental barriers that have created challenges in their lives. I specialize in working with adolescents, addictions, men's issues, depression and anxiety.
