Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Chicago, IL

I approach therapy in a collaborative and compassionate way, creating a safe space where clients can feel supported as they explore their inner world. I believe that each client is the expert of their own life, and my role is to guide, support, and provide tools to help you connect with your strengths and insights. My work is trauma-informed and integrates a variety of techniques, including internal family systems, somatic methods, inner child work, strengths-based narratives, CBT, experiential approaches, and clinical hypnosis.

Your hands are full right now: the anxiety that hums under everything, the stress of juggling relationships, career, and the self-care that keeps slipping to the bottom of your list. Maybe a transition has left you questioning who you are, or you're grieving the loss of someone you love, a relationship, or a future you'd imagined. Wherever you are, you don't have to carry it alone. I work with individuals through these moments, with a particular focus on women's health and wellness.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Sex Offender Treatment Provider specializing in therapy for children and youth. I earned both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Social Work from Delaware State University, building a strong foundation for the diverse clinical work I've pursued throughout my career.

My background spans a wide range of settings — from wrap-around (intensive in-home) therapy and therapeutic foster care case management to domestic violence advocacy and community-based supervision. These experiences have shaped me into a clinician who meets clients where they are, with both compassion and adaptability.
