Proudly serving adolescents, adults and their families since 2012

Welcome to Essential Wellness Advocates. I believe that one of the foundations of stable mental health, is strong connections to social supports. This can include family, community or any support you value. It’s about learning to cope with a mental health diagnosis; not allowing a diagnosis to consume your identity. This is easier to achieve when you have support.

In addition, communication is vital to the growth of any relationship. It is when communication falters that we see increases in stress and discord. My mission is to work together with clients of all ages and backgrounds to restore a healthy balance to their lives through effective communication of needs and enforceable boundaries. Through hard work and consistency, you will learn how to improve communication and maintain meaningful relationships. 

I believe in improving mental health outcomes by providing therapy services in the comfort of your home; clinically deemed “The Natural Setting.” Experience has shown me that people have anxiety about going to a new, unfamiliar place or meeting with someone new for the first time. Especially when the meeting is in regard to private and vulnerable topics. I strive to make my clients as comfortable as possible in order to maximize the effectiveness of our work together. 

Essential Wellness Advocates was born out of my passion for helping others and providing non-judgmental support and guidance. My educational background consists of a Masters degree in Social Work from the University of Illinois-Chicago, Jane Addams School of Social Work, a Bachelors degree in Sociology with a focus in Law and Society from DePaul University and I maintain full licensure as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with the state of Illinois.
