Our mental health is essential to our well-being. Whether you're struggling with depression, mood regulation, or adjusting to life changes, I provide support to help you regain a sense of self, strengthen coping skills, build resilience, and improve daily functioning by reducing self-limiting thoughts, behaviors, and patterns for lasting emotional well-being.
Mental Health & Well-being
Early adulthood is a time of excitement and uncertainty. The 20s involve growing independence, identity formation, and shifting relationships. The 30s bring deeper commitments and expanding responsibilities. I help emerging and young adults navigate these transitions with tools for self-discovery, resilience, and clarity in relationships, career, and personal growth.
Young Adulthood Challenges
Finding the right words to express feelings, address sensitive issues, or navigate difficult conversations can be daunting. As a communication expert and author of Communicating Courageously, I help craft messages that articulate emotions and intentions, foster understanding, and build confidence in discussing complex topics with those who matter most.
Finding the Right Words
Therapy for personal growth helps adults explore potential, enhance self-awareness, and build a fulfilling life. I guide individuals in identifying limiting patterns, clarifying values, and developing skills to navigate challenges in relationships, emotional well-being, and confidence, offering tailored tools for resilience and deeper self-connection.
Personal Growth
Romantic relationships, feelings, and dynamics can be complicated. I help adults sort out emotions, improve communication, understand attachment styles, and navigate uncertainty. Therapy also provides support in healing from past relational wounds, recognizing and breaking unhealthy patterns, setting boundaries, and gaining clarity in difficult or emotionally complex relationships.
Romantic Relationships
Navigating difficulties with parents, adult children, in-laws, siblings, or close friends can be emotionally complex. I help individuals process conflict, gain clarity around relational differences, cope with strained connections, set healthy boundaries, manage family tensions, navigate estrangement from loved ones, and develop insight into their role and patterns in interpersonal dynamics.

My Approach to Individual Therapy
I begin therapy with a thorough assessment, exploring your concerns, background, challenges, and strengths to develop a treatment plan that aligns with your needs. From there, our work together is rooted in deep listening, thoughtful feedback, and gentle challenges to foster meaningful growth at a pace that feels right for you.
Therapy with me is engaged and supportive—I provide both empathy and direct guidance, ensuring our conversations are constructive and intentional. Whether you're working through emotional struggles, seeking greater self-understanding, or navigating important life transitions and/or relationships, I offer a space for reflection, exploration, and lasting change.
Are you seeking a traditional,
face-to-face therapy experience?
In-person sessions bypass the challenges inherent to virtual communication and foster a unique sense of connection, energy, and shared presence that comes from working together in the same room.
Visit me in my confidential and comfortable space in Vernon Hills, IL, when only an in-person experience will do!
Seeking the flexibility and convenience of remote therapy?
I offer HIPAA-compliant telehealth sessions for those with busy schedules or who are unable to visit my Vernon Hills, Illinois location. Virtual sessions allow you to access therapy from the comfort of your home, office, or even while out-of-town.
Contact me today to schedule your telehealth session and enjoy the benefits of remote psychotherapy.
Do you live or travel
outside of Illinois?
I may still be able to help! As an accredited PSYPACT provider, I am licensed to provide HIPAA-compliant telehealth services in all participating states. This allows me to work with patients who reside or travel outside of Illinois. You can view a list of participating PSYPACT states here.
Contact me today to explore how I can support you through telehealth services outside of Illinois.
Do you prefer extended, focused sessions to work through pressing and complex issues?
My therapeutic intensive sessions offer a deeply immersive approach, allowing us to address your concerns without the time constraints of the traditional insurance therapeutic hour.
Reach out today to explore how therapeutic intensives can help you address what matters most to you.
Are there other clinicians on your treatment team?
Collaborative care actively enhances treatment by providing valuable insights across disciplines. With your permission, I can coordinate with your psychiatric provider to support medication decisions and collaborate with any couples, family, or other clinicians involved in your care.
Reach out to explore how I can coordinate care to strengthen your treatment.
