Behavior Analysis near Lincolnwood, IL

Care Philosophy: I value communication and treating patients holistically.

Care Philosophy: EMDR is used to treat trauma and, consistent with research, I have found EMDR to be successful in the treatment of other disorders as well. I am trained and utilize other treatment modalities including CBT, DBT and ACT. I embrace and include the strengths perspective while helping clients achieve their goals and address their concerns.

Care Philosophy: I graduated in 2007 with a dual degree in psychology and social work and began providing case management and advocacy services to people experiencing homelessness. I earned my master's degree in 2009, and transitioned from clinical case management to creating safe, therapeutic spaces for children to heal and grow. Over the next decade, I worked with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as trauma survivors across all ages and genders. This led me to various clinical and residential leadership roles, advocacy work, and research opportunities. My current practice and research are grounded in three evidence-based, relational frameworks: the Sanctuary Model (Bloom, 2008), Growth Mindset (Dweck, 2008), and the Culture of Care (Greenhough, Davies, & Bowlby, 2022). While developed for systemic purposes, each emphasizes the importance of relationships, values, and accountability. Over time, I've come to understand that these elements are crucial for fostering the culture and conditions necessary for healing, recovery, and thrivingparticularly after crises. I treat individuals as young as five, as well as couples, families, and groups. I work with a wide range of issues, with a special focus on generalized anxiety disorder, men's mental health, relationship challenges, trauma, and spirituality.

Care Philosophy: I employ mindfulness practices, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and a deep knowledge of neurodiversity to help you on this journey toward healing and self-actualization.

Care Philosophy: My approach to therapy is collaborative and strengths based. I utilize my sessions with patients to help them develop interventions that suit their individual needs as well as uphold their values.

Care Philosophy: I prioritize the needs and goals of each of my clients to create a curated treatment plan that will help them grow their own skills and self-knowledge so that they may lead an intentional and fulfilled life of their own accord. I trust that my clients are the experts about their lives, and that our collaboration to find solutions and alternative ways of being can promote harmony and success.
