I have a proven record of helping people who experience acute anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, moral injury, addiction, interpersonal difficulties, chronic pain, death, grief, and more.
I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker, with a master’s degree from the University of Chicago, where I was a member of a program of study that focused on the newest forms of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I enjoy working with both individuals, couples, and families, and draw most from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I take an approach that looks beyond diagnoses, and explores the larger patterns and processes of behavior, emotion, and thinking that get in the way of people’s lives and relationships.

This includes community mental health, residential facilities, foster care, county mental health, juvenile hall, schools, substance abuse and chemical dependency, adults with severe and persistent mental illness, and crisis intervention.
As human beings we learn, develop meaning, and create a sense of purpose through each other and the relationships we form. In the same spirit I believe the therapeutic process is driven by the relationship formed between the client and the therapist. This is why my approach in therapy is guided by the question - "How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for their personal growth?" I strive to create an empathic, nonjudgmental atmosphere where you feel safe and empowered to work toward personal growth and creating lasting change; forming trust and leaning toward vulnerability.

“When ‘I’ is replaced with ‘we’, even illness becomes wellness” – Malcom X.
"Today is the day to reach out and tomorrow is the day to feel better." If you're anything like me, then you know that half the battle is reaching out to "[Fill In The Blank]" in order for you to start feeling better about whatever the situation might be. You might fill in the blank with the Dentist, a friend with whom you had a falling out, a family member you forgot to say happy birthday to, etc. I'm the same way in so many situations but once I've made that appointment, talked to the friend, made it to the gym, etc... I feel so much better! I hope that today's the day you say... "I'm reaching out to better my self... for me!"
