I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have experience in working with both adults and adolescents with anxiety, depression, stress management issues and coping with trauma. I work from a multi-cultural, anti-racist/anti-oppression lens. All work with clients is trauma-informed and strengths-based. I have worked with high school students in managing a range of school-related issues including those who have been hospitalized and are re-integrating back into their lives. I have extensive experience working with individuals in the LGBTQIA+ community. Whether it is someone just starting to explore their gender and/or sexual identity, or someone who is navigating all that comes with living out and proud, I have worked with people all along their journeys to living their authentic selves.  I am part of the Gender Affirming Clinicians Collaborative through Lurie's Children's Hospital and a member of Inclusive Therapists. I am a certified trauma and resilience therapist, and so, all my work comes from a trauma-informed lens. I also pull from CBT, mindfulness, narrative, bibliotherapy, and solution-focused modalities. I do not believe that one size fits most. I will work with you on the style that best works for you.
