About My Clients
My clients are often capable, high-functioning adults who sense that gambling, sports betting, high-risk trading, alcohol, or other substances have started costing more than they give. Many also carry anxiety, depression, stress, anger, or shame. I also work with partners and family members affected by a loved one's addiction. Together we work toward doing what matters in your life, in line with your own values and goals.
My Background and Approach
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (MSW, Loyola University Chicago) and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor, licensed in Illinois and Minnesota. I have worked in settings as varied as hospitals, residential treatment programs, and outpatient therapy, and now see clients in private practice in Logan Square and online. As a therapist, I am always committed to my clients' potential and well-being. I focus on your strengths and core values and collaborate with you to find healing and solutions. Empathy, constructive listening, and honest feedback are combined with theory and holistic, evidence-based practices, including Motivational Interviewing, CBT, psychodynamic, and strength-based approaches, to provide effective clinical support. My style is inquisitive, affirming, and, when it helps, challenging.
