I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges, including anxiety, trauma, and difficult transitions. I create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to explore their thoughts and emotions. My approach is collaborative and tailored to each person’s unique journey. Together, we identify patterns that may be holding you back, build practical coping skills, and work toward meaningful change in your daily life. I focus on fostering self-awareness, resilience, and personal growth, always with compassion, empathy, and respect for your individual experience. Clients often describe me as warm, approachable, and insightful—someone who listens deeply, challenges gently, and supports them every step of the way toward clarity, balance, and well-being.

I am a licensed clinical social worker in Chicago. I went to school at the University of Illinois at Chicago for my MSW and Anderson University for my BA in Social Work.

If you are struggling and you want to reduce your anxiety, depression, stress, and/or relationship conflicts therapy can help. We can work together so you can advocate and care more for yourself and connect to what you need.

Welcome! I'm a passionate healthcare professional dedicated to providing compassionate and effective telehealth therapy. With a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness, I offer supportive counseling services for adults and older adolescents. My experience in counseling and case management has equipped me with the skills to provide impactful mental health therapy, ensuring my clients receive the care and support they deserve. I see clients almost exclusively during morning hours, up until noon (CST) and can easily accommodate people with non-traditional schedules, since I have appointments as early (or late!) as 1am CST. Just like a good workout, a therapy session first thing in the morning can help you start your day off right. In addition to counseling, I've been instrumental in developing innovative strategies for Medicaid Special Needs programs, emphasizing quality assurance and improvement in Illinois. My cross-functional leadership has enabled me to work collaboratively with community partners, optimizing program outcomes and enhancing quality of care. I hold certifications as a Case Manager (CCM) and Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), which reflect my commitment to providing holistic care. I'm dedicated to meeting my clients where they are at, and helping them to achieve their mental health goals, without judgement. My goal is to help you navigate your health journey with expertise, empathy, and unwavering support. Let's work together towards your well-being.

I take a person-centered, warm, and empathic approach to therapy that focuses on compassionately challenging you to identify and embrace your strengths. When engaging with clients, my hope is that you will leave each time feeling more encouraged and understood. I utilize an eclectic approach of evidence-based psychology and, when needed, a trauma lens. I will work with you to create goals for treatment and help you understand what modality of treatment best fits your unique needs

I’m passionate about supporting teens, adults, and parents by creating a compassionate and safe space where you can openly share your struggles. Together, we’ll work toward greater self-acceptance and help you feel more confident in who you are.

At my clinic, I am dedicated to creating an atmosphere where healthcare is not just a service, but a personal experience that resembles the care and support one would receive from family. My clinic accepts a variety of insurance plans to make healthcare more accessible for my patients. I work with major insurance providers to ensure that my services are covered under your plan. My dedicated team can assist you in understanding your coverage and any out-of-pocket expenses, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience with us. Each location is staffed by experienced healthcare professionals dedicated to delivering personalized care in a welcoming environment. With my dual locations, I aim to make managing your health needs as convenient and stress-free as possible. I hold myself to an extremely high level of excellence in every aspect of my practice. This includes the care I provide, the equipment that I use, the health and safety protocols that I follow, and the incidental services that I offer. Above all, my aim is to provide each of my patients with an optimal experience. I have completed extensive education and clinical training as well as specialized training in my areas of expertise. Driven to constantly improve my knowledge in the area of Family Medicine, I frequently attend educational conferences and professional society meetings to learn about the latest advancements in the field and offer these techniques and technologies to patients. I strongly believe that patient education is an important part of the services I provide. In addition to talking with patients during exams and throughout the course of treatment regimens, I have provided extensive information on the conditions, treatments and procedures relating to Family Medicine. I encourage patients to read about conditions and treatments that affect them and I eagerly invite you to ask questions. Thank you for choosing me to be your health care provider.
