You might be here because something in you hurts. That may be an emotional, physical, or relational pain. You may be grieving a loss, navigating the stress of a chronic illness, struggling with anxiety or depression, or feeling the impact of a past trauma. You might also be carrying the pain of being misunderstood or excluded. As a queer, neurodivergent therapist, I understand what it feels like to be overlooked or judged for experiences others find hard to face, and this fuels my passion for working with individuals who have been marginalized, misunderstood, dismissed, unseen, or told their pain is too much.

As a clinician, I believe that therapy should be a mutual process in which the client and therapist work together to address the concerns and needs of each unique individual client. I believe each person has a unique capacity for growth and drive for self-actualization. When done with empathy and acceptance for an individual, therapy can be a process by which the client achieves their perception of change, growth, and healing.

I support children, adolescents, and emerging adults navigating anxiety, mood disorders, and neurodivergence. My clinical foundation was built in the inpatient psychiatric unit at Lurie Children’s Hospital, where I worked with diverse backgrounds and acute mental health challenges. Many of my clients come to therapy dealing with performance pressure, burnout, or the complexities of life transitions. I help them move forward by viewing each person within their broader family and social systems while providing a collaborative, client-led environment. My goal is to turn overwhelming challenges into manageable steps for lasting growth.

Hello, I'm Anthony! Meaning and certainty are hard to practice when you're struggling to get through the week. My experience as a therapist involved helping people experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, psychosis, and interpersonal difficulties; if any of those apply to you, I would like to help you or someone you care about find some relief. My process is collaborative and open, meaning you set the pace as we learn how to reshape thoughts, learn new skills, and celebrate your best.

The people I work best with are teens and young adults and adults who feel like life has thrown them one challenge after another—whether that’s family struggles, mental health concerns, substance use, self-harm, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or just feeling lost and disconnected. They may not have all the answers (yet), but they’re willing to take even the smallest step toward something better. What they need most is a safe place to be heard without judgment, to untangle the thoughts and feelings that feel overwhelming, and to learn tools that make day-to-day life more manageable.
