Therapists in Arlington Heights, IL

I have had the opportunity to work with individuals of all ages for over 51 years. I approach everyone I see with a lifetime of experience about countless others but see the uniqueness of each individual. I meet people on the road where they are and assist them in taking life changing steps toward where they want to be. I see myself as a "midwife", helping each person give birth to a better life. Ultimately I see "my job is to put myself out of a job...but I need your help."

I believe that mental health is at the core of overall wellbeing, and I understand that seeking support for yourself or a loved one is not easy. That said, I aim to create a welcoming atmosphere where you feel comfortable, safe, and connected. In sessions, I will gently and appropriately challenge you to make incremental yet meaningful changes in your life. I will also provide you with effective and practical coping skills so you can support yourself in and outside of session. I am experienced in working with children, teens, young adults, and parents. I specialize in the treatment of OCD, anxiety, eating disorders, and depression.

Life's journey can be challenging, and it's absolutely okay not to have all the answers. In my space, judgment is left at the door, allowing you to unpack your thoughts, fears, and dreams without hesitation. Think of our sessions as a comforting cup of tea – a moment to breathe and find solace. Together, we'll navigate your unique journey, gently unraveling any threads that may be holding you back.

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I received my MSW from the University of Northern Iowa in 2018, where I specialized in trauma processing and trauma-informed care. I am a trained EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapist and work with depression, anxiety, anger management, and addiction, among other issues. I like to use an eclectic style in my treatment modalities, and I believe there is no “one-size-fits-all” in therapy. I think people are the experts on their own experiences, so I enjoy working with individuals to tailor their mental health services to meet their needs.

Your relationship with family, friends, and, of course, yourself is of the most importance.

Reaching-out for help could be the most courageous gift you could give yourself. I would be honored to help you through these struggles. I would like to give you the very best individual psychotherapy. I do not offer a "band aid" approach to therapy, meaning, the process to feeling better is one that requires a confidential, authentic, and meaningful relationship with me.

I include parents and the child in our work, a crucial piece for consistency in communication, and navigating the increasing stressors kids face. On a personal note, I'm also a mom, and can empathize with daily demands of family life.
