​​As a psychotherapist for many years, I have learned that compassion, support, encouragement and guidance are just as effective as education and experience. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker & kind human who provides psychotherapy virtually and in-person at the downtown Chicago office. From working directly with those affected by dementia and other forms of cognitive impairment, plus coaching and counseling their care partners, I have vast experience in helping clients navigate challenges and adjusting to changes with grace & acceptance. Treatment is individualized, strengths are encouraged, there's humor, feedback, insight & exploring. My focus is on creating a safe and comfortable non judgmental environment where clients are heard, and I utilize evidenced based treatments for best outcomes. Depending on client need, I can pivot from problem solving to aiding clients learn life skills.
