Get to Know the Clinician

Welcome, I am very glad you found my page! I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 18 years experience working with individuals and families that struggle with mild to severe emotional and behavioral disorders. I started my career working with emotionally disturbed adolescents in a residential setting, gaining invaluable experience with some of the toughest diagnoses and how to treat them. I enjoy helping youth face difficulties, and to build the skills and confidence to overcome them. 

 

My passion for learning also drew me to work with a new population: seniors and their families. For the past several years I have worked 1:1 with seniors to help them cope with their changing world and age gracefully. As much as I have thoroughly enjoyed working with seniors, I have also been honored to learn from and grow with them.

 

When I am not conducting sessions, you will find me raising two energetic young boys, trying out new cooking recipes, or checking up on all of the Chicago sports teams.
