Therapists in Naperville, IL

Transformation! We all have a story that has shaped our perspectives. Whether you are faced with issues related to anxiety, depression, couple distress, parenting, or TRAUMA- there is HOPE. It is not so much as "what happened to you", but how are these experiences processed. My desire is to help clients regain hope, heal, feel less anxious, greater security, and move FORWARD. My intention is to help my clients understand the root issues that cause emotional and psychological distress, develop a stronger sense of self so that they can live a more fulfilled life. The decision to change begins with you.

Symptoms of anxiety and OCD can make individuals feel powerless. Coping with obsessions, trauma, and phobias can be difficult, but there is a way to find relief! As a clinician with extensive training in the treatment of anxiety disorders, including OCD and PTSD, I motivate clients to challenge thought patterns that have robbed them of their confidence and hope. Using ethical and evidence-based treatment, we can work towards goals that will help you gain your life back.
