About

Hi! I am a Licensed Social Worker, with a specialty in Mental Health. I am devoted to helping adolescents, young adults, and adults overcome obstacles that life throws at us. I believe in working collaboratively with my client's to set and achieve goals, process traumatic experiences, and explore healthy coping mechanisms. I use evidenced based practices, such as Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectic Behavioral Therapy to help create effective and long standing change. My diverse experience has helped to shape the clinician I am today. I have experience working for CPS, as a school social worker, where I was able to provide goal orientated therapy to middle and high school aged students. I have worked as an individual adult therapist for a not for profit agency, providing therapy to individuals struggling with Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, Substance Use, and Mood Disorders. I am currently employed as a case worker in a hospital setting, on an acute adult psychiatric crisis unit. I work with individuals to treat mental health crisis, such as psychosis, suicidal ideations, and Bipolar episodes. My role is to provide support during crisis, collaborate with families, and ensure patients have stable support post discharge. If you are looking to explore your triggers, process your emotions, and improve your overall quality of life, I am here to help. Appointments are offered in-person and virtual !
