I graduated from the Loyola University School of Social Work program in May of 2017. I became a fully Licensed Clinical Social Worker in March of 2021. I have a variety of experience working with clients of all ages with a primary focus in ages 6 and up. My areas of specialty are in interventions related to depression, anxiety, ADHD and grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing (MI) are the primary interventions that can be expected to be used in sessions, however I am open to discussing alternative treatment methods. Our overall goals will be to learn how to express and identify emotions, decrease any symptoms the client may be experiencing, work on building relationships and creating a tool belt of coping skills to use outside of session. I offer a listening ear with endless unconditional positive regard and little humor to promote healing and growth.

I graduated from Aurora University Master of Social Work Program in 2010 and became a licensed Clinical Social Worker in 2018. I have a wide variety of experience working with individuals, couples, and families. My areas of specialty are in interventions related to depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and trauma. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Patient-Centered Therapy and Motivational Interviewing (MI) are my main therapy approaches however, I am always learning more modalities to use as I continue in my career. Clients can expect patience, kindness, a listening ear, and a smile at every session. Overall goals for sessions are to learn healthy emotion identification and healthy emotion expression, decrease any symptoms present for the client, creating coping skills and learning how to set healthy boundaries to improve relationships outside of session. I offer a positive personality to connect with clients, kindness, and patience to help with healing.
