*Note that prior to the first session with me, LifeStance will require a credit card on file. *LifeStance providers do not accept Medicare or Medicaid insurance. If booking with these, you will be unable to be seen. As a therapist, I look forward to establishing a strong working rapport with my clients. I hold a Master's in Social Work from Aurora University and have clinical experience working primarily with children and teens from my years as a school social worker. I supported students and their families in various areas including, but not limited to, anxiety, depression, trauma, LGBTQ issues, and relationship conflicts. I have worked with clients from early elementary school age throughout the lifespan and have personal understanding of the sometimes complex struggles of changing family needs and the aging process. I believe in a strengths-based perspective, utilizing tools such as CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness, solution-focused therapy, and play therapy. I help my clients identify and understand their triggers and work toward developing a choice of coping skills that are appropriate and acceptable to them. I also have experience as a foster parent support specialist, adoptive parent, and former foster parent. This has given me great insight into how to best support attachment issues, cross-cultural and transracial needs within families, as well as grief and loss. This life experience inspired me to become a social worker. My diverse work experiences include teaching at the community college level and working in UK Child Protection supporting intact families. These experiences provide me with a well-rounded perspective when working with clients. Each of us has a story that holds strong meaning, and my goal is to guide my clients on a path of understanding and positive growth with their own unique life story.
