Licensed Social Worker

I just recently moved to Neoga, IL from Springfield, IL, and I am a Licensed Social Worker. I have a Master of Social Work degree, with a clinical concentration in mental health from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and a Bachelor of Social Work degree from the University of Illinois at Springfield.

I have experience working with a variety of populations, providing case management, and linking individuals and families to appropriate community resources.

I have spent the majority of my career as a medical social worker where I worked with individuals and families during times of high stress, grief, bereavement, and family conflict. I enjoy working with children, teens, and adults of a wide range of ages, utilizing trauma-informed and client-centered approaches. I value the importance of a safe and trusting atmosphere that allows clients to actively participate in the therapeutic process.
