I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families heal from trauma, strengthen relationships, and rediscover their sense of self. I earned my Master of Social Work from Aurora University in 2020 and provide compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to each client's unique needs.
My clinical experience includes individual, couples, and family therapy, with specialized experience in marriage counseling, blended family dynamics, adoption, and positive parenting. I have worked in a therapeutic day school supporting children and adolescents experiencing anxiety, trauma, school refusal, and other complex mental health concerns. I also served as a therapist at a domestic violence shelter, providing trauma-informed care to children and adolescents impacted by grief, abuse, attachment wounds, and identity-related challenges.
I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, depression, complex PTSD, OCD, dissociative disorders, behavioral concerns, and relationship challenges. My therapeutic approach integrates evidence-based interventions with empathy and authenticity to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel understood, empowered, and equipped with practical tools for lasting growth.
I believe our experiences influence who we are, but they do not determine who we can become. Healing is a journey, and my goal is to help you build resilience, embrace your strengths, and confidently move forward into the next chapter of your life.
