I am a licensed therapist providing forward-focused, collaborative individual therapy for adults in Barrington, IL and online throughout IL.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Barrington, IL

About My Clients

I help capable, insightful adults who are tired of just "managing" anxiety, overwhelm, and stress find more ease, connection, and fulfillment. My clients are observant, reflective, and motivated to understand the feelings, triggers, and relational patterns showing up in their lives. They are highly self-aware and are ready to actively reshape the patterns they’ve outgrown, heal from the lasting impact of difficult relationships, and create meaningful, lasting growth.

My Background and Approach

Prioritizing everyone else, walking on eggshells, and over-analyzing interactions can leave you burned out and second-guessing yourself. Navigating difficult or exhausting relationships can make you question your own experiences and overlook what doesn’t feel right. I will help you find practical strategies to break cycles of overthinking, worry, and doubt so you can feel more relaxed in your mind and body. Together, we’ll work to stop the patterns of replaying the past or worrying about the future, allowing you to move forward feeling calm, confident, and connected in the moments that matter most. I have 15+ years of clinical experience helping individuals navigate complex stress, anxiety, and relationship dynamics. I use effective, evidence-based tools—and translate them into practical strategies you can use right away.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe therapy can be fun, conversational, and should feel useful from the very first session. While we work together toward your longer-term goals, I want you to have concrete, practical strategies you can use in your daily life right away. Because no two days are the same, I draw on a variety of approaches and customize every session to exactly what you need in that moment. For example, some days you might need space to vent, problem-solve, or explore the root source of an issue. Other days might require active, guided stress reduction to interrupt worry and help your mind and body relax. I’m here for all of it—and most importantly, I'm here to help keep you moving forward.
