I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master of Social Work from Loyola University Chicago, completed in 2008. I work with adults 18 and older, specializing in trauma, anxiety, and depression, and I believe deeply in each person’s capacity to grow, heal, and transform. My approach draws from ACT, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing, with a focus on practical tools, emotional clarity, and helping you reconnect with your own resilience. In our work together, you can expect honesty, compassion, and a steady presence as we find the right path forward together.
My Clients
Trauma can change the way you see yourself, other people, and what feels possible. Anxiety and depression can make it hard to trust your own mind, even when you are doing your best to keep going. You may be carrying pain that feels too heavy to name, or patterns that once helped you survive but now leave you feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of yourself. Healing can begin with making sense of what has happened, learning new ways to steady yourself, and discovering that growth is still possible.
