Purple Butterfly

As a Licensed Social Worker with over 10 years of experience, I specialize in working with children, adults, and families. Holding degrees in Social Work from Western Illinois University and Aurora University, I am passionate about mental health, inclusivity, and personal development. I use therapeutic approaches like EMDR, Brainspotting, CBT, and Narrative Therapy to address trauma, grief, and loss, helping clients build resilience and coping strategies.

My practice focuses on active listening, empathy, and creating a safe space for healing. I am here to support, collaborate, and empower you through life’s challenges. Taking the first step toward help is courageous, and I’m here to walk alongside you.
