About

I am a clinical social worker, licensed in the state of Illinois, with over three years' experience as a therapist (and many more years of providing counseling and support in case management settings). I graduated from Cornell University and Howard University School of Social Work. That strong education, along with a lot of life experience, has prepared me for this work that I love. I work with people who have a variety of mental health concerns, such as anxiety, trauma (emotional, physical, and racial), grief, depression, parenting challenges, and interpersonal conflicts.

My style of therapy is warm, interactive, calming, and non-judgmental. My therapeutic approach varies depending upon the person I am working with, but I lean heavily on mindful, trauma-informed, cognitive behavioral and psychoanalytic theories and practices. We will collaborate to craft a plan that will move you forward toward increased wellness and contentment.

It is my honor to earn your trust and assist you in gaining the peace, confidence, and personal goals you are seeking. I look forward to our work together!
