Therapists » Clinical Social Work/Therapist
When we find ourselves struggling in our lives, engaging in therapy can make a difference. I am an experienced Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing both in-person and virtually in Oak Park IL and Madison WI. I work with adults, children and adolescents, as well as couples & families seeking psychotherapy for a range of issues. I strive to create a safe holding environment where we explore the landscape of the mind, emotions and one's relationships. Through the experience of therapeutic relationship, we process and identify patterns, conflicts and needs with the aim of establishing healthier ways of living and relating. My clinical training is rooted in proven practice techniques drawn from developmental & psychodynamic theory along with 20+ years of practical clinical experience. My central role is to create and nurture a partnership with you where emotional safety is honored, and honesty and openness valued. My expertise is offered in support of your goals and needs. To quote Erik Erikson, 'Hope is both the earliest and most indispensable virtue inherent in the state of being alive. If life is to be sustained, hope must remain, even where confidence is wounded, trust impaired.' By seeking help, one embraces hope and is on the path toward health.
