I will help people heal from their painful and distressing experiences so they are able to feel more safe and secure in the world now. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Vermont and a Master’s degree in Counseling from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology, and a Doctorate in Psychology from Roosevelt University.

I have worked with adults, couples, people with developmental disabilities, survivors of sexual abuse, people of the Latinx population, couples with infertility issues, and people facing deportation.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Aurora
Finding the right OCD therapist in Aurora starts with understanding what kind of care you need. OCD care may include therapeutic approaches such as ERP, a specialized form of CBT, depending on an individual's needs and a licensed provider's assessment. Some providers are trained in therapeutic techniques that may involve gradually working through triggering situations or thoughts as part of an individualized treatment plan developed with a licensed professional. Some people also work with a psychiatrist for medication management alongside therapy. When searching for a provider, look for someone who specifically lists OCD experience — general anxiety training is not the same as specialized OCD care.
Aurora is part of Kane County, with many residents also connected to neighboring communities like Naperville, North Aurora, and Oswego. Whether you prefer in-person sessions close to home or virtual appointments that fit a busy schedule, having options matters. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their clinical approach, the types of OCD they work with, and whether their style feels like a match before you commit to a session.
Therapy in the Aurora area can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an OCD specialist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
