Licensed Social Worker | Therapist at FJ Psychological Services

I am a Licensed Social Worker who brings compassion, dedication, and strong clinical skills to my work with children, adolescents, and adults. I have earned my Master’s in Social Work with a Mental Health specialization from Loyola University Chicago and have provided care in a variety of settings, including outpatient clinics, therapeutic day schools, and community-based organizations. 

I have experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), strengths-based approaches, and I use play and art therapy with all ages to support clients through challenges such as trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I am skilled in conducting mental health assessments, developing safety plans, and providing crisis intervention when needed. I have also recently completed my basic training in EMDR and I am always furthering my knowledge by learning new skills and methods of doing therapy.

At FJ Psychological Services, I work closely with individuals and families to build resilience, foster emotional growth, and create meaningful change. My clients often describe me as approachable, supportive, and committed to helping them recognize their strengths.

I am currently pursuing my Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) credential and I am passionate about continuing my professional growth while serving my clients with empathy and care. Outside of her clinical work, I enjoy giving back to my community. I have along history of advocacy and volunteer work.
