CHAMPVA Therapists in Mount Prospect, IL
I offer a warm, science-informed space to help you work through trauma, ADHD, grief, life transitions, body image concerns, and challenges with self-worth. I believe lasting change happens when you feel understood as a whole person — not just a set of symptoms — and that healing unfolds at the intersection of brain, body, and lived experience. In our work together, I draw from neurocounseling, mindfulness, and somatic practices to support emotional regulation, nervous system awareness, and a deeper sense of clarity and resilience.

You may feel overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by depression, navigating past trauma, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Maybe you’re managing family stress, substance use, or major life transitions. At the heart of it, you want to feel more steady, more in control, and more connected to yourself and the people around you.
I work with adults and adolescents facing these challenges through a client-centered, solution-focused approach. Using CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care, I help you build emotional resilience, deepen self-understanding, and develop practical tools to manage everyday stress and difficult moments.

Even when life is seemingly going well, our thoughts and feelings can make our days and nights a struggle. Living with mental illness or going through a challenging time can be like there is an ever-looming cloud blocking us from feeling the sun. It is my belief that therapy can help us see and feel the light again. Depression, anxiety, ADHD, behavioral or personality issues, and abuse & trauma can make us feel like we’re alone and without hope. Therapy can be a place where you don’t have to go through life’s struggles alone and get to learn coping strategies and solutions.

Therapy isn't always about feeling better right away - it's about getting better at feeling. I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, perfectionism, disordered eating, emotion dysregulation, and life transitions, including highly sensitive people, burnt-out overachievers, and young adults figuring out who they are. Intensively trained in DBT and informed by ACT, somatic awareness, and mindfulness, I help clients build practical skills to live in alignment with their values and weather the harder parts of life with more ease.
