Hello and Welcome! I have been a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Illinois since 2004. I have worked with a wide range of clients, groups, and individuals from parents, young children, adolescents, and adults. I have worked with clients from all walks of life and who present with challenges and concerns such as depression, anxiety, addiction, post-traumatic stress disorder and grief and loss. I am also a certified forensic interviewer and have worked with patients who have experienced physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. My therapeutic style is open and engaging. I consider my therapeutic approach to be eclectic and have studied and practiced a variety of methods such as cognitive-behavioral theory, motivational interviewing, and rational-emotive therapy. But my approach with you and all my clients will be individualized and will be tailored to meet your unique needs and concerns. I understand how difficult it can be to reach out for help. I also know how lonely suffering in silence can be. I am so delighted that you have chosen to step out and seek the help you need to achieve the greatness that is within you. I congratulate you on this first step and I hope to be able to help you in the future. Welcome!
