I believe in the power of the therapeutic process to help an individual learn how to manage the difficulties that life throws at them as well as to grow as a person and empower themselves. The most rewarding part of being a therapist is seeing individuals bloom into the person they want to be; believe in themselves and the power they have in their lives; and ultimately, leave the therapeutic process with a greater sense of well being and more fulfillment in their lives than when they started the process.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and earned my Master’s in Social Work (MSW) from Aurora University. Prior to working in pnivate practice, I worked in community mental health for several years. I have experience providing services to individuals living with depression, anxiety, grief, adjusting to life transitions, and having difficulties in interpersonal relationships and social functioning. I use a variety of therapeutic interventions based on the individual’s needs, Including Cognitive Benavioral Therapy, mindfulness-based techniques, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and a solution-focused approach.
