If you’re viewing this page, that’s a HUGE step toward a major undertaking.  I’m not going to sugarcoat it; psychotherapy is a difficult process, and a rewarding one.  It is easy to feel vulnerable talking about your feelings, your hopes, and your struggles.  Sometimes, as the old saying goes, “the only way out is through.”  

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and received my master’s degree in social work from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.  I have experience with many different populations, with more emphasis in my current work with individuals ages 18 and over (with certain exceptions based on functioning level).  I work with clients who are suffering from depression, generalized anxiety, social anxiety, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Panic Disorder, grief, relationship concerns, workplace/academic stress, emotion dysregulation, major life transitions, and geriatric concerns, and I am an LGBTQIA+ affirming clinician. 

Activities that I engage in outside of work include spending quality time with family (including our corgi, Bruce) and friends, playing the guitar, reading, and playing video games. Oh, and I also love watching sports, most notably cheering on the Green and Gold every week during football season. Yes, I’m a Packers fan.  

I want to help you be your own most effective self-advocate, giving you the tools you need to navigate this ever-changing and stressful world. I will meet you where you are, wherever that is, without judgment. I look forward to collaborating with you.
