About My Clients
Things have been tough lately for our community. But we come from a long history of survivors and thrivers. Are you wondering what changes (in action & mindset) could benefit you? What additional support and resources could help? I look forward to learning more about you, your life experiences & strengths. Then we can resource additional insights & tools to help you feel more grounded and set up for growth as you go forward.
My Background and Approach
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience helping individuals on a variety of challenges including addictions, disordered eating, trauma, depression/anxiety, self-esteem, grief/loss, LGBTQI+ identity, career transitions & health concerns. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Applied Psychology from the University of Illinois at Chicago & Master’s Degree in Clinical Social Work from the University of Chicago, School of Social Service Administration (now Crown School of Social Work). have worked in corporate, higher education and hospital settings and am amazed by what therapy can bring to someone’s life having experienced this personally and as a practitioner. I offer an empathetic and warm approach focused on creating an environment of honesty, encouragement and safety to access deeper aspects of oneself and live a more full life. I view therapy as a collaboration where we work together to build upon your personal strengths and resources to help you heal.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am non-judgmental and open to learning about how to help you. You (and all of us in the LGBTQ+ community) deserve to be seen, heard, supported and to thrive. I believe that our community cannot and will not be silenced. And that this starts by taking care of ourselves. Joy is indeed revolutionary!
