I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker offering individual therapy for adults. I have experience in treating mood disorders, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, grief and loss, and relationship issues. I tailor my approach according to the needs and strengths of the client, combining psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral theories. I provide an attentive, honest, and non-judgmental therapeutic environment where clients can increase insight and explore desired change.
I'm also experienced in the use of expressive arts, mindfulness, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to help individuals discover more effective ways to utilize emotions and be in relationship with others. I specialize in affirmative treatment of LGBTQ clients and am comfortable with diverse expressions of sexuality and relationships.
I received his Master’s in Social Work from Loyola University Chicago and have nine years of experience working in a variety of residential, hospital, and community mental health settings.
