I’m a licensed therapist offering individual and family therapy in Illinois, supporting people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. I have a Bachelor's in Clinical Psychology from the University of Illinois and a Master's in Social Work from Aurora University.

I work with children, teens, adults, and families navigating anxiety, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, relationship challenges, and self worth struggles.

Happy patient looking away

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 a Therapist in Arlington Heights

Searching for therapists in Arlington Heights starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want to address. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, or work stress. Review each therapist’s listed specialties, approach, and experience before booking. Some therapists focus on cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, family therapy, or other methods, so their profile can help you understand how they work and whether their background fits your needs.

Arlington Heights has local therapy options, though availability may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual therapy can also expand your choices across Illinois, especially if you need evening appointments or prefer care from home. As you compare therapists, look at whether they are accepting new patients, offer appointment times that fit your calendar, and provide a free phone consultation. Reading bios closely can give you a clearer sense of communication style, session structure, and what to expect before you book.

Therapy in Arlington Heights can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your out-of-pocket estimate before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, verify your insurance, see estimated costs upfront, and book directly when you’re ready.

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.

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