I have been in the social work field for close to 9 years.  I received my Bachelors of Science from Michigan State University in 2002, where my area of study was social work.  After graduating, I relocated to Chicago where I worked for several years as a counselor and health care assistant for Planned Parenthood.  Through my work with women and adolescents in the health care field, I decided I needed to do more.  I went on to receive my Masters in Social Work from Loyola University Chicago in 2006.  I now practice as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Chicago. 

I have extensive experience and training in the following areas:

• Individual and Couples counseling
• Working with Adolescents
• Reproductive Mental Health
• Anxiety & Depression
• Sexual Assault Crisis Counseling (Certified in 2005 as a Sexual Assault Crisis Counselor)
• Substance Abuse
• Grief & Loss
