Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Arlington Heights, IL

Hi there, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience in the field. My experiences have come from child welfare, community mental health and healthcare and afford me the opportunity to support so many individuals and families along the way. Most recently I have focused on perinatal mental health and supporting families through the continuum of pregnancy and postpartum transitions.

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.

Chronic stress and anxiety can steal all your energy until you have nothing left for everyday problems. When problems are ignored, they multiply, get bigger. If you don’t cut the grass for too long, it becomes thick and could be full of snakes and spiders. Leave the dishes unwashed in the sink for enough time and there will be more there to clean than old food. The problem becomes more than a chore, now it is a threat, and even harder to face. These things can pile up over time and leave you feeling hopeless. If this sounds familiar, I am happy you read this, because you are exactly the kind of person I like to work with.

You CAN take back your life, and there is nothing I love more than helping my patients do that. It can be intimidating to reach out to someone for help, but you should know I am more than happy to speak with you. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation and we'll figure out the best next step.

If you’ve been carrying stress, trauma, or emotional weight that’s starting to show up in your thoughts, relationships, or daily life, it can be hard to know where to start. I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and the impact of past experiences. You might notice yourself overthinking, feeling easily overwhelmed, shutting down emotionally, or reacting in ways that don’t quite make sense to you. Many of my clients come in feeling stuck but ready to better understand themselves and move forward in a different way.
