My Approach to Therapy
As a dual-certified LCSW and School Social Work Specialist with over 15 years of experience, I provide high-quality, culturally affirming therapy tailored to the unique needs of children, adults, and families in Chicago. My practice, Resilient Rose Therapy, is a collaborative partnership—a dedicated space where we acknowledge the 'thorns' of life's hurdles while cultivating the bloom of your resilience.
Whether your child is navigating ADHD, school anxiety, or IEP/504 coordination, or you are an adult ready to move past 'survival mode' toward authentic connection, I offer a steady, neuro-affirming presence. By bridging the gap between home, school, and individual wellness, I help you stop simply 'getting by' and start building a life—and a legacy—you love.
I utilize evidence-based, neuro-affirming modalities tailored to your goals—you can view a full breakdown of the frameworks I practice on my Services Breakdown page.
Beyond direct clinical work, I am also passionate about providing clinical supervision for licensed supervisors and social workers entering the field.
Service Breakdown for Resilient Rose Therapy
For Children & Families
Nurturing growth and bridging the gap between home and the classroom.
Child & Adolescent Therapy: Navigating school anxiety, ADHD, and social-emotional hurdles can be overwhelming for a young person. I use creative, age-appropriate therapeutic tools, strengths-based approaches, and executive function coaching to help children explore big emotions, build daily structure, and express what they can't always put into words.
Parent-Child Interaction (PCIT): Parenting doesn't come with a manual. Through active, real-time coaching, I help you confidently manage challenging behaviors while strengthening the emotional bond with your child.
IEP & 504 Advocacy: Support shouldn't stop at the clinic door. I help you confidently navigate the school system by reviewing educational records, attending school meetings, and collaborating on strategic goals and accommodations to ensure your child receives the structural support they deserve.
Family Systems Support: Every family is an ecosystem. By mapping out repetitive relational patterns, we work together to reduce daily household tension, improve communication, and bring harmony back under your roof.
For Individual Adults
Moving from "survival mode" to authentic connection and resilience.
Individual Psychotherapy: A safe, queer-affirming and neurodiversity-affirming space for adults dealing with burnout, major life transitions, or past trauma. Utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and strengths-based tools, I help you gently unmask, process your experiences, and reclaim your peace.
Executive Coaching: Practical, strategy-focused support tailored for professionals navigating ADHD or high-stress environments. Together, we will build sustainable systems for organization, time management, and emotional regulation.
Faith-Integrated Counseling: For clients who wish to intentionally weave their spiritual walk into their healing journey, I offer dedicated Christian counseling frameworks upon request.
For Couples and Relationships
Moving from repetitive cycles to profound, unified connection.
Couples & Marriage Counseling: Relationships thrive on safety and connection, but it's easy to get trapped in painful, repetitive loops—whether you are dealing with communication breakdowns, family-of-origin boundaries, or life transitions. I provide a structured, neutral space utilizing elements of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and systemic frameworks to help you map out your conflict patterns, soften communication barriers, and get on the exact same page. Please note: For family and couples counseling, I practice a 'No Secrets' policy to ensure our space remains completely transparent, collaborative, and balanced for everyone involved.
Inclusive & Affirming Care: Love and partnership take many forms. My practice provides a deeply welcoming, culturally affirming, and LGBTQIA+ community-allied space. Whether you are navigating traditional marriage hurdles, queer relationship dynamics, or non-traditional family structures, your identity and your relationship are safe and celebrated here.
For Professionals
Growing the legacy of high-quality social work.
Clinical Supervision: I provide dedicated, weekly individual supervision for MSWs working toward their Illinois LCSW. My approach balances supportive mentorship with administrative rigor, ensuring you confidently meet your licensing requirements while developing your unique clinical voice.
Consultation for Schools and Businesses: Tailored professional development, workshops, and systems-level consultation for schools and organizations looking to improve their mental health frameworks and support their teams.
Frameworks utilized in my adult practice include: CBT, ACT, Family Systems, Neurodiversity-Affirming Care, and Trauma-Informed Frameworks.

The Convenience of Modern Therapy
Providing high-quality support from the comfort of your home.
Your busy schedule shouldn't be a barrier to healing. To offer the highest level of accessibility and convenience, all appointments at Resilient Rose Therapy take place online via a secure, HIPAA-compliant virtual telehealth platform.
Whether you are navigating a hectic work week, balancing school and family demands, or looking for a safe space to connect from across Illinois, telehealth brings dedicated clinical care right to your screen.
The Power of Real Flexibility
Traditional "9-to-5" counseling often forces you to make an impossible choice: prioritize your professional responsibilities or take care of your personal well-being.
By intentionally offering evening and weekend sessions, I remove the pressure of the ticking clock. This flexibility gives you, your child, or your partner the breathing room to engage in deep, transformative clinical work without the distraction of an unfinished to-do list or the stress of sneaking away from the office or classroom.
Your Path to Growth: What to Expect
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, but the process itself should be simple and transparent. Here is how we will work together to build a life—and a legacy—you love:
Step 1: The Consultation We begin with a complimentary 15-minute introductory call. This is a casual, no-obligation space to share what brings you to therapy, ask questions, and ensure our voices and approaches are a truly aligned fit.
Step 2: The Assessment & Deep Dive Once we decide to move forward, we will schedule a comprehensive initial intake session. Together, we will look at the big picture—mapping out life's current "thorns," evaluating school or workplace stressors, and defining exactly what success looks like for you or your family.
Step 3: Actionable, Grounded Healing From there, our weekly or bi-weekly virtual sessions begin. Whether we are utilizing neuro-affirming tools, practicing behavior coaching, or building relationship unity, each session is tailored to provide practical, real-world relief so you can stop simply getting by and start truly blooming.
