About

I am a clinical social worker licensed in Illinois and North Carolina ,and have been a social worker since 2004. While I have provided "traditional" counseling for the past three years, I have additional experience working with adults and their families through my work in hospice and long term care over a span of 15 years. I have worked with adults of all ages, including centenarians! Common issues we work on together are depression, anxiety, sleep issues, caregiving stress, and grief. I am also very knowledgeable in coping with various medical conditions, including memory loss, ALS, cancer, diabetes, and heart failure. I like helping people manage stress related to these often complicated issues, whether their own or a family member's.
My style is open and friendly, encouraging you to share your story and working collaboratively towards your goals, at your pace. I draw primarily from client-centered therapy, narrative therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy.
I look forward to hearing more about you!
