I believe quality mental health care starts with feeling heard and respected. I take a collaborative, patient-centered approach and work to understand the whole person, not just symptoms. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space while offering thoughtful, evidence-based psychiatric care tailored to each individual’s needs.

Making the decision to begin therapy is a meaningful step, and I am committed to creating a space where you feel safe, supported, and truly heard. With over 18 years of experience as a school social worker, I have had the privilege of helping children, adolescents, and families navigate life’s challenges with compassion, understanding, and practical support. Throughout my career, I have worked with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, behavioral concerns, family conflict, grief, trauma, life transitions, school-related stress, low self-esteem, and difficulty managing emotions. I believe every person’s story is unique, and therapy should be tailored to your individual needs, strengths, and goals. My hope is to walk alongside you as you move toward growth, healing, and a more fulfilling life!

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Rockford, IL

Searching for therapists in Rockford starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Many people look for therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare Rockford therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties and approach match your needs. A therapist’s bio can help you understand their experience, communication style, and what to expect in sessions.

In a mid-sized city like Rockford, your best fit may be near Riverside, Coronado, East State, or available through virtual sessions. In-person therapy can be helpful if you prefer a set office location, while virtual therapy may fit better if your schedule changes or local options are limited. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session structure, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.

Therapy in Rockford 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 you book. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences and are accepting new patients, so you can review profiles, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready. You can also enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm coverage and see your estimated costs before booking.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
