About me

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Illinois and obtained my Masters Degree in Social Work from the Jane Addams College of Social Work at the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2008. I provide personal counseling/therapy based upon the principles of humanistic therapy and positive psychology. A central tenet of this type of therapy is that the client possesses the inner resources necessary to successfully address his/her major life challenges. The focus is upon the client’s strengths, not deficits. My role as therapist is to establish a supportive, safe environment which facilitates the client’s ability to learn how to access these inner resources, to use them to surmount the difficult personal issues they face, and to create a more meaningful and fulfilling life based upon their own personal vision. I was a victim of substantial emotional abuse and neglect throughout my childhood. One consequence of this type of experience is that you never feel comfortable being yourself – everything you do is oriented toward pleasing your caregivers to get their approval and avoid further abuse. This is something I have worked on extensively in my own therapy, so I can easily relate to people’s struggles to learn who they really are and identify their core self, and to construct a life for themselves that fully expresses their wants and desires. I am not the “expert” to tells you what to do to make things better; you are the expert in deciding what you want your life to look like. In assisting people in this journey, I am quite experienced in helping them address significant challenges in life that can be so troublesome, such as getting one’s needs met, anger management, conflict resolution, developing effective communication skills, setting limits and boundaries, and establishing fulfilling interpersonal relationships. In the therapy I offer, there is no advance agenda or script nor any specific goals. Each session flows organically from wherever the client wants to start. This type of therapy works best when the client is a self reflective and introspective person, comfortable with discussing his or her inner thoughts and beliefs, and who is in touch with feelings and emotions. It is not oriented to using cognitive or analytical skills in solving specific problems per se but focuses on your overall quality of life. If you have difficulty being spontaneous or introspective, or are looking for a structured, goal oriented approach to therapy, this would not be a good fit for you. I no longer take any men as clients but just women
