About My Clients

I have worked tirelessly with families and adults coping with an array of challenges including adjustment issues, anxiety, depression, stress, grief and loss, trauma, family conflict, relationship problems, mood disorders, personality disorders, self-esteem, chronic illness, chronic pain, and women’s health issues such as perinatal and postpartum struggles. I have worked with clients from the LGTBQ+ as well as the Trans community and consider myself a champion of social justice causes.

My Background and Approach

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the State of Illinois. I completed my Bachelor of Arts degree (B.A.) from Touro College in New York in 2015 and went on to earn my Master of Social Work degree (M.S.W.) from Walden University in 2019. I strive to use interventions that meet the specific needs of my clients in a safe, comfortable, and nonjudgmental way. I often use a cognitive-behavioral approach (CBT) in psychotherapy as I help my clients adjust and overcome maladaptive thinking patterns and behaviors. I also utilize dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and other therapeutic modalities as a way of teaching clients important coping techniques to manage their stress and navigate their challenges. My goal is to help my clients learning healthy ways of living and a positive mindset to overcome challenges. I hope we can find a way to help you overcome your challenges, support your needs, and help you flourish in all aspects of your life!

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I identify with a variety of social justice causes and incorporate sensitivity to these issues into my practice. When I am not practicing in my remote office, I enjoy spending time with my husband and four children - including my twins - and enjoy reading and watching back episodes of Friends!
