About My Clients
My clients are people from all walks of life seeking to better understand themselves and the world around them. I specialize in working with people who were raised in complex family and/or social dynamics. My clients are usually folks living with anxiety, interpersonal turmoil, or harmful self-narratives. If you are seeking a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space to reconnect with the past, align yourself to your present values, and engage in growth and healing, please reach out.
My Background and Approach
I am a licensed social worker (LSW) with certifications in Bruce Perry's Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics (NMT) and Albert Ellis' Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT). I hold a Masters Degree in Social Work from Loyola University Chicago and a B.S. in Psychology. I have over six years of experience working with adolescents, families, adults, and couples in non-profit and private practice settings. My approach is informed by a person-in-environment framework that recognizes the impact of social and institutional systems on our mental health. I view my clients through a holistic lens that goes beyond a client's set of symptoms or diagnoses. Ultimately, my goal is to provide a safe, equitable, and compassionate space for clients to explore and honor all parts of themselves.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
You deserve a compassionate and non-judgmental space to explore and find meaning in your experiences and relationships. As a social worker and therapist, I recognize that our mental health is informed by intergenerational beliefs and practices, childhood experiences, and our current social and institutional systems. My approach is all about understanding you within the broader picture of your world — because things like work, school, relationships, traumatic experiences, and even global events play a big part in how we feel every day. Fostering healing and growth requires meaningful connections, which can be challenging to cultivate in today's world. That's why I'm committed to building that connection with you, using a blend of humor, honest feedback, and collaborative effort. Thanks for considering me on your journey.
