As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of clinical experience, I bring a diverse background to my therapy practice. Holding degrees from the University of Chicago and an MBA, as well as being a certified yoga teacher, I offer a well-rounded approach to mental health and well-being.
My approach
My approach to therapy is centered around your unique beliefs, values, and goals. I collaborate with you to find balance in your life, whether that means learning to manage stress, getting better sleep, or addressing other challenges. Our sessions will be active, build upon your strengths, and employ immediate solutions for relief when possible.
My focus
I work with individuals to address a range of mental health concerns, including addiction, anxiety, behavioral issues, eating disorders, self-esteem, self-harm, trauma, PTSD, and mood disorders.
My communication style
I tailor my communication style to your needs and preferences. I aim to create a supportive, non-judgmental space where you feel heard and understood. Our sessions will involve open dialogue and active collaboration as we work together towards your goals.
My journey to mental healthcare
My journey to mental healthcare began with a deep desire to help others navigate life's challenges. Through my education at the University of Chicago and extensive clinical experience at organizations like Catholic Charities and Youth Spirit Artworks, I honed my skills in various therapeutic modalities. I am passionate about empowering individuals to lead fulfilling lives.
My goals for you
My goal for you is to provide the tools, insights, and support you need to achieve lasting positive change. Whether you are seeking short-term problem-solving for specific issues or longer-term treatment for mental health concerns, I am dedicated to helping you build resilience, gain self-awareness, and improve your overall well-being.
My first session with you
In our first session, we will discuss your reasons for seeking therapy and explore your goals. I will ask questions to better understand your background, experiences, and current challenges. This initial meeting is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and determine if we are a good fit. I want you to feel comfortable and confident in our therapeutic relationship from the start.
