Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Orland Park, IL

About My Clients

I serve children, adolescents and adults that are struggling with any mental health concerns.

My Background and Approach

As a clinician I am given the opportunity to help others get through tough times in their lives by providing a safe outlet that promotes wellness in their lives. My goal is to see clients implement the tools gained from therapy, and to watch them continue on their path to greatness. Some areas I specialize in are stress management, creating healthy thoughts, identifying and changing unwanted behaviors, coping skills, self-awareness, and self-esteem, relationship stress/issues, anxiety, depression, emotional support, and life transitions. My preferred treatment modalities consist of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person- Centered, and Solution Focused Brief Therapy. I enjoy using these specific modalities because they are goal-oriented approaches that focus on the present and helps people develop coping mechanisms for managing difficult situations and emotions. I am privileged and honored to be chosen to be a part of individuals/families' lives as they start their therapeutic journey.
