Psychologist

Virtual & in-person • 20 mi away • Chicago, IL


Many people seek therapy when anxiety, stress, or overwhelming thoughts begin to interfere with daily life, relationships, and overall well-being. I work with clients who feel stuck in cycles of worry, overthinking, avoidance, or self-doubt, and I help them build practical tools to feel more grounded and in control.

I specialize in helping people navigate anxiety and stress-related concerns, including panic symptoms, intrusive thoughts, and repetitive worry patterns. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and focused on improving daily functioning — not just reducing symptoms.
