With over two decades of experience in the social service field, I bring a compassionate, trauma-informed approach to therapy that supports individuals across the lifespan. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I offer virtual sessions exclusively, serving clients in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Vermont. My therapeutic style is integrative and tailored to each client’s unique needs. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness practices to help clients understand the roots of their symptoms and move toward healing. I specialize in trauma recovery, relationship dynamics, and narcissistic abuse syndrome. As a certified Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician (NATC), I provide informed, empathetic care for those navigating the complex aftermath of emotional abuse—as well as those currently in emotionally abusive relationships seeking clarity, safety, and support. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to grow. Outside of my clinical work, I find restoration in nature and value the grounding it brings to both life and practice.
