Therapists in Northbrook, IL

I am a therapist with immediate daytime availability. I work with teens 16 and up and adults. I work with issues such as depression, anxiety, mood, dysregulation, body image, perinatal mood disorder, work stress, chronic illness, and pain. I am here for you to feel heard and validated. I work from a collaborative strength-based approach where we will address underlying patterns that may not be working for you anymore. I am an experienced clinician who believes in prioritizing mental health. I believe that one can cope with these issues by using skills of; attunement, mindfulness, and self-compassion practices.

You deserve to be living your BEST life. Your mental and physical health are interconnected and you need to take care of yourself to reach your full potential. How you love yourself, is how you teach others to love you. I create a safe space in my therapy sessions where clients can feel free to express their thoughts, feelings, and concerns in a non-judgemental setting. I help my clients with the challenges they face at home, work, and school. I work with families and couples to help improve communication and marital/relationship issues.

We all endure adversities and challenges that can cause us to question our identities, our relationships, and our lives. Managing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and stress on our own can leave us feeling overwhelmed, confused, and lonely. It is in the midst of such distress that we benefit deeply from receiving warm and empathic support. Given the unique complexity of each person’s life experiences, I emphasize multicultural sensitivity and the use of a holistic approach to therapy. My therapeutic orientation is humanistic integrative. I utilize evidence-based therapeutic models and interventions, and I adapt them to the unique needs of each person that I work with. I incorporate trauma-focused approaches and specialize in working with traumatic stress, grief and loss, life transitions, relationship issues, & anxiety and mood disorders. Honoring who you are is an essential part of experiencing a collaborative and compassionate relationship. Therapy is a space for you to feel seen, validated, and supported while working towards goals that reflect your own needs and desires in wellness and personal growth. I have served as a therapist in college communities, residential and primary care settings, and in community mental health agencies. In addition to my work as a therapist, my clinical research has focused on therapeutic care for women who have experienced loss due to sustaining spinal cord injuries.
