I love working with people who are new to or curious about therapy. My work focuses on problems with stress and sleep, though this often involves discussing additional issues like anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship conflicts. I have experience in settings ranging from elementary schools to emergency rooms where I help people with their most complicated and uncomfortable situations. I can help with yours, too.
Do you need to process by exploring your family's D&D alignments or equating your coworkers to the 2010 Blackhawks roster? Let's do it. Your therapy sessions will be specific to you - there are no right or wrong answers. Together we can figure out what you need to feel better and work on getting you there. I believe in using empathy, experience, and honest communication to guide our sessions. All you have to do is show up and be willing to try things.
I am a licensed clinical social worker with over a decade of experience in mental health care. I have additional expertise and training in sleep disorders, mediation, domestic violence crisis intervention, sexual assault crisis intervention, and deescalation. I have worked at Rush University Medical Center and Advocate Healthcare.
