I am a Licensed Social Worker and received my bachelor’s degree in psychology as well as my master’s in social work from Southern Illinois University Carbondale. I specialize in working with children, teens, and young adults with anxiety, depression, life transitions, and more. I am committed to being an ally of the LGBTQIA+ community and intentionally strive to make my office a welcoming, affirming, and safe environment for everyone. Show up as exactly as you are.
I use a very eclectic approach to therapy tailored specifically to each person’s experience incorporating strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I believe that therapy is a deeply collaborative and individualized process; there is no “one-size-fits-all path to healing”. You are the expert of your own story, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside you on your journey toward growth and well-being.
Lydia practices at our Champaign location.
