I am excited to offer my therapeutic expertise to help overcome your challenges.  We can walk through this journey together while I provide support, skills, and confidence to help you achieve your goals. Facilitating a safe space to build our rapport is at the forefront of my intentions to assist in your recovery.

I have a broad range of clinical experience, including community mental health, inpatient/crisis settings in multiple roles, residential treatment, and individual psychotherapy in an outpatient setting. I work with teens, tweens, young adults, and mature adults. I have been instrumental in helping many patients to overcome and manage their symptoms of anxiety disorders, depression, disordered eating, and mood disorders. I possess specialty experience with eating disorders and OCD. 

Approach 

My style is strengths based, client-centered with understanding and commitment. I fashion a peaceful and safe environment to enable you to realize your objectives drawing from my passion for serving within this professional relationship. My purpose for this therapeutic alliance is to provide complete support so that you can achieve ultimate satisfaction with your therapy goals. Studies demonstrate that progressive changes in our behavior create a newfound balance in our relationships. I highlight a process through which you will gain new and positive insights to proceed with your life and appreciate your newfound empowerment to enjoy your journey with overall self-acceptance and serenity. I will offer fresh and reflective perceptions to enable you to realize constructive long-term adjustments within yourself and those around you. I utilize the following treatment modalities: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Brief Solution Focused, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, Person-Centered Therapy, Solution Focused Behavioral Therapy (SFBT), and Strength Based Therapy. 

Experience

I received my Bachelor of Social Work from Northeastern Illinois University. I received my Master of Social Work from Loyola University Chicago.  I have worked in acute crisis hospital settings and residential treatment before joining private practice. I work with people across the lifespan experiencing anxiety, behavioral problems, depression, mood disorders, eating disorders and anxiety disorders.
