As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience, I specialize in working with adolescents, adults, and families. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Special Education from Illinois State University and a Master's degree in Social Work from Aurora University. My professional journey spans across various settings, including school systems, therapeutic day schools, and private practice.
With extensive training and experience, I address a wide spectrum of issues including anxiety, depression, mood regulation, trauma, grief and loss, special education needs, and concerns specific to the LGBTQ+ community. Central to my approach is fostering an empathetic environment grounded in the belief that every individual possesses the innate capacity for growth.
As a mother, educator, and social worker I look forward to the opportunity of working alongside you.
