Compassionate and effective therapy for teens and adults, through telehealth and in-person in Illinois.

Teens

I love partnering with teens and their families  as they take steps to improve their confidence and relationships. I can help with: 

  • School avoidance
  • Declining participation
  • ADHD struggles
  • Autism spectrum challenges
  • Sadness from divorce or loss
  • Ongoing depression
  • Anxiety from low confidence or high expectations
  • Sleep and eating changes
  • Peer issues and loneliness
  • and more

Adults

Struggling with work, friendships, or family? Whether it’s ADHD, anxiety, depression, loss, or feeling stuck, you don’t have to face it alone. Let’s find a path forward together.
  • ADHD
  • Anxiety/phobias/panic avoidance of fear based situations.
  • Depression, on-going feelings of sadness, withdrawal from friends, family, and activities important to you.
  • Divorce and it’s impact on the family
  • Grief, coping with the loss of a loved one, estrangement from a family member, loneliness
  • Religious trauma/conflict within the  family
  • Life transition challenges
  • Caretaking of loved  ones
  • Retirement adjustment, and concerns in later years of life

Next Steps

The first step is to schedule your free 15-minute consultation call. You can do this by filling out the contact form or calling and leaving a message with a good time for a callback. I’ll respond within 24 hours.

This initial call helps us decide if we’re a good fit. I’ll ask about what brings you to therapy and share more about my approach. You’re welcome to ask any questions to get a sense of how I work and how I might support you.

If you choose to work with me, I’ll send you a few forms to review before we meet. During the session, we’ll go over the paperwork, then focus on your goals and what you’re hoping to gain from therapy.At the end, you can decide if you’d like to continue or take some time to think it over.
