As a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience in mental health, I have worked with a variety of populations in multiple settings, including outpatient, inpatient, residential, judicial, and educational. I am informed by decades of teaching and practicing yoga, a system that offers practical, accessible tools to achieve emotional balance and well-being.
My approach
My collaborative, problem-solving approach to working with clients helps them better understand, navigate, and overcome the challenges of living.
My focus
I see individuals and minors ages 13-17. My specialties include anxiety, career counseling, coping skills, depression, emotional disturbance, family conflict, grief, infertility, life coaching, life transitions, mood disorders, parenting, pregnancy/prenatal/postpartum issues, self-esteem, stress, and women's issues.
My communication style
I prioritize clarity, warmth, and collaboration in my communication. Drawing upon my experience in yoga and problem-solving therapy, I strive to create an environment of open dialogue and emotional safety. My goal is to listen deeply, reflect thoughtfully, and offer practical tools to support your well-being and growth.
My journey to mental healthcare
My journey in mental healthcare began with providing direct service to individuals struggling with a range of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship and parenting issues as a psychiatric social worker for a large medical system. From 7/1994-6/1996, I completed clinical hours for licensure at the Circuit Court of Cook County Forensic Clinical Services.
