I am an Illinois licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with more than 20 years of experience in private practice and a host of medical settings (nursing homes, hospitals, and hospice). I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, LGBTQ+ related issues, family conflicts, & grief and loss. I strongly believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and that every one of us has a story that deserves to be heard. Taking the first step to getting help takes courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
