I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Illinois and Florida (telehealth only). I specialize in depression, anxiety, mood disorders, , LGBTQIA+, relationship issues, parenting difficulties and crisis intervention. I have worked with clients across the life span in both outpatient and inpatient settings. My treatment approach is highly individualized to meet the needs of each client. I use evidenced based treatment practices including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy along with elements of strength-based therapy, holistic therapy and mindfulness. I am extremely warm and calm, and I am genuinely invested in helping each client reach their potential. My deep sense of empathy lends itself to developing strong therapeutic relationships with my clients—a very necessary component of the healing process.
