If you spend your days replaying mistakes, worrying about what others think, or feeling like there’s a constant weight on your chest—you’re not alone, and I understand. I specialize in helping individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, and the everyday stressors that can feel overwhelming. My approach focuses on shifting thought patterns and behaviors to create real, lasting change.
With over 10 years of clinical experience, I’ve worked with people from all walks of life—and I continue to find this work both meaningful and rewarding. I support clients who feel stuck, unmotivated, consumed by worry, navigating difficult relationships, or simply wishing the pain or stress would disappear.
You don’t have to figure it all out on your own. I’m here to help you increase your self-worth, manage your thoughts, and take back control of your life. Let’s take that first step together. Reach out today for a free consultation. Well Therapy: welltherapy,com. Serving clients across Illinois (telehealth available)

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.
