Meet Jillian
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience treating adolescents and adults in both mental health and substance use settings. My career began in the Will County Specialty Court system as a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor, supporting clients through drug, mental health, and veterans’ court programs. I’ve also worked across inpatient, outpatient, and Medication-Assisted Treatment programs for alcohol and opioid use disorders, gaining a strong foundation in trauma-informed care. I specialize in helping clients navigate challenges related to grief, trauma, low self-esteem, family dynamics, workplace stress, and relationship issues. I create a safe, judgment-free space rooted in compassion and respect, tailoring treatment to each person’s goals. I draw on evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, strengths-based interventions, and person-centered care. My aim is to foster healing, resilience, and lasting growth.
