Great to meet you! I've been helping people sleep better since 2002. I'm a Licensed Psychologist (IL) and a Registered Sleep Technologist (RPSGT), specializing in therapy for insomnia and circadian rhythm disorders.
Most of my clients have struggled with chronic or acute insomnia and feel stuck in the cycle — they've tried all the usual tips and tricks, but nothing seems to work. I take a thorough approach because easy fixes rarely solve sleep problems. I start by understanding everything that may be affecting your sleep, then build a plan around you — not a one-size-fits-all formula.
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who attained my Master's in clinical counseling at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. I have approximately 15 years of experience providing compassionate and effecting counseling services in an array of settings including both community and hospital based.
I take pride in having the opportunity to serve a diverse population which has included children, adults, couples, and families across a broad spectrum of needs. Some of the unique needs have included supporting individuals who are seeking to gain a better approach to their life while going through difficulties with self-identity, relationship challenges, trauma, substance use issues, or navigating challenging life transitions.
Building on my decade of experience in the mental health field, my personality style in therapy is rooted in warmth, genuine curiosity, and thoughtful directness. I strive to be a compassionate and steady presence, creating a secure, non-judgmental space where you feel safe to explore your deepest challenges. While I lead with empathy and active listening, I also believe in providing honest, practical feedback and gentle challenges when necessary, ensuring our work together is productive and goal-oriented. My approach is always collaborative—I am here to be a reliable partner and guide, helping you uncover your inherent strengths and wisdom.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I provide a supportive and nonjudgmental space where you can show up as your full, authentic self. I have nearly 7 years of experience working with adults navigating a range of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, burnout, and relationship concerns. I specialize in Motivational Interviewing and Strengths-based approaches. I am calm, caring and open-minded.
I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based care. I specialize in medication management and supportive therapy for a broad range of psychiatric disorders, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, trauma-related conditions, substance use disorders, and others. My approach is holistic and person-centered, fostering a safe and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel supported and empowered to achieve emotional stability, improved functioning, and overall well-being.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Downers Grove
Searching for therapists in Downers Grove starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare Downers Grove therapists, look for training, specialties, and approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, family therapy, or support for couples and marriage counseling.
In a smaller local market like Downers Grove, nearby in-person options may vary by schedule, office location, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Illinois. Before booking, consider appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also show how they describe their style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Downers Grove can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, check your insurance, see estimated costs upfront, and book directly when you are ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
