I am a licensed clinical social worker in Illinois, with 25 years of professional work experience. I have worked in Chicago as a therapist providing individual, couples and and family counseling. As a native Chicagoan, I truly understand how the hustle and bustle of urban living can impact one's life. I strive to be the best me that I can be, and to live a life filled with peace, joy and prosperity.
I incorporate this in my practice utilizing a strength based approach that includes solution focused therapy.
I am a graduate of the University of Iowa with a Bachelor's of Arts in Journalism and Mass Communication and a Master's in Social Work.
I have experience working with clients experiencing relationship issues, lgbtq+ related issues, trauma, abuse, motivation, self esteem, & confidence.
I strive to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
Additional areas of focus: Caregiver issues and stress, Communication problems, Jealousy, Narcissism, Prejudice and discrimination, Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), Self-love
