Hello! I’m Rosie, so glad to meet you!
I earned my Master of Clinical Social Work with an endorsement in School Social Work from the University of Chicago. My years as a school social worker on the North Shore have given me a deep understanding of the school system and how to support students academically, socially, and emotionally. During the breaks, I serve as a summer camp social worker—working with kids and families year-round is truly my passion!
What I love most about children is that they aren't afraid to be their authentic selves. In our work together, I dive into their world to provide an unconditional, positive space where they can work through big emotions. I also love partnering with parents, validating their experiences, and offering concrete, actionable tools so therapeutic learning continues seamlessly at home. As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, I especially enjoy supporting and empowering LGBTQ+ children and families.
My primary therapeutic approaches include:
Now to the fun stuff… I love spending my time outside of therapy knitting and crocheting, going to musicals with my partner, and listening to audiobooks. And, of course, I can’t forget to mention cuddling up with my two lovable cats, Miso and Maki!
