About My Clients
I enjoy working with those who have learned to shut down uncomfortable emotions, feel alone, and not good enough. This pain may show up as anxiety, depression, binge eating, trauma, and complex PTSD. We’d be a good fit if you’re hoping to heal the parts of you that hold shame, fear, and hurt. I also work well with kids/teens who struggle with emotion regulation, self-esteem, and anxiety, and those of all ages navigating the grief and pain of chronic illness.
My Background and Approach
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that healing happens within a safe, trusting relationship. Using an attachment and somatic lens, I help clients heal early relational wounds, improve emotional regulation, and enhance self-trust and confidence. I earned my Master’s Degree in Social Work from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in 2022 in clinical practice. I am independently licensed in the state of Illinois. I’ve been working as a therapist for 4 years.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am a strong believer in social justice- our experiences are influenced so much by larger systems of oppression, which often shapes how we navigate stressors and traumatic experiences. Not only do I prioritize Social Work values in my practice, I believe they’re important to live out every day. These core values include: service, social justice, the dignity and worth of the person, the importance of human relationships, integrity, and competence.
