Who I am: I am a LCSW holding licenses in a number of US states, including my home state of Illinois (#149.020283). I earned my BA double-majoring in Psychology and English at the University of Notre Dame and my MSW at Loyola University Chicago. My work experience includes roles at a community wellness center, a campus counseling center, and a PHP/IOP facility, where I served for several years as a Lead Group Therapist. I now work remotely as a Senior Manager of Clinical Onboarding at Two Chairs, a mental health clinic with both digital and in-person locations. Since 2018, I also have been operating my part-time outpatient practice, which I took fully online in 2020. I continue to see clients exclusively for teletherapy sessions, offered via a secure online platform.
What I do: In my private practice, I provide outpatient psychotherapy to young adult and adult-aged clients. Although therapy looks different for each person depending on their needs, I frequently help individuals struggling with life changes and transitions, relationship and communication challenges, anxiety, depression, stress, and identity concerns. I also aid clients in building their repertoire of coping skills, clarifying their values, and boosting self-compassion and self-understanding. I additionally have a special interest and background in helping individuals with career-related concerns, and help keep my clients accountable and motivated as they discern employment fit, consider role transitions, and navigate the job search and application process. How I do it: As a therapist, I strive to be authentic, empathic, and nonjudgmental. My work incorporates elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and I operate from a strengths-focused and values-based lens. I'm a firm believer in working with clients to develop treatment objectives that align with their core values, and I'll both support and challenge them during their journey to self-discovery. My ultimate goal is to equip my clients with new tools, techniques, and ways of viewing the world and their relationship with it so they may experience healthier, happier, and more fulfilled lives. |
