My role is to increase your self-awareness to identify what you value, what is currently working in your life, and what is getting in the way of you living the life you want to live. I view therapy as a partnership wherein my role is to help you to move towards the life you want to live based on your values. I will also teach you skills based on ACT, DBT, and CBT.
My background is in working with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, including OCD, and stress management. I specialize in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) as well as Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). As well I completed my certification in EMDR and have found this to be invaluable for treating trauma and anxiety.
Most recently, I worked for Linden Oaks Behavioral Health in Naperville as a clinical therapist serving a wide array of mental health challenges, including depression, anxiety, and OCD. Currently, I run a private practice in Naperville. I look forward to speaking with you about how I can meet your needs.

Sara has supervised me since I began practicing at Linden Oaks Hospital. I've gained so much from observing her calm demeanor in intense situations. Sara has always been a consistent voice of reason in my growth as a counselor. Her work speaks for her.
