I do my best work with teens and Young adults suffering from depression, anxiety, and trauma related issues.
I like getting to know young people who are feeling lost. By taking the time to understand their needs and strengths, I can help them overcome barriers and see what they are really capable of. I also like helping people learn skills to help improve their quality of life.
I have spent most of my career working in non-profits with at risk youth. I have worked with LGBTQ+ teens and separated migrant children in the past. I also stay active with social work research in Chicago.
I started private practice so I could work more directly with the community and continue to grow my therapy skills. I am very interested in continuing to work with trauma and I have started training in EMDR therapy. I have also done some training in Poly Vagal theory.
