Virtual & in-person • 1.6 mi away • Long Grove, IL


Welcome — I'm so glad you're here! With 23 years of experience as a school social worker, I am passionate about helping children, adolescents, and families navigate life's challenges and build the skills needed to thrive at home, school and in their communities. I work with children and teens ages 3-17, as well as parents and caregivers who are seeking support, guidance, and practical strategies to strengthen family relationships, work through family conflicts and improve daily functioning. My goal is to help build the necessary skills to strengthen relationships and homeostasis within family structures and the individual.

I specialize in working with neurodivergent children, adolescents, and families including those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA), social-communication challenges, anxiety, emotional regulation difficulties, and behavioral challenges. I also specialize in working with high conflict family dynamics which include parent-child relationships, divorce (for families that are both in and/or out of the family court system), sibling rivalry, and multicultural child rearing.

Motherhood changes you—but that doesn't mean you have to lose yourself along the way.

Whether you're preparing to welcome your first baby, adjusting to life with a newborn, juggling the demands of raising children, navigating divorce while parenting, or wondering who you are now that your children need you less, every stage of motherhood brings new challenges. These transitions can leave you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or uncertain about what's next. You don't have to figure it out alone.

Virtual & in-person • 10 mi away • Glenview, IL


I've devoted a decade of my career helping parents learn how to best help their children. And another decade helping adults in an out-patient partial hospitalization program. These are the moments when people have felt the most vulnerable and in need of something more than what they are already trying to manage their mental health. Hopefully, my experience and tools that I've gathered working across the age groups and in a more intense level of care can help you build your own toolbox.

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 Buffalo Grove

Searching for therapists in Buffalo Grove starts with finding someone whose training and focus match what you want support with. Therapists may help with concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy approach, and experience align with your needs. Bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

In a smaller local market like Buffalo Grove, nearby in-person options may be more limited than in larger parts of Illinois. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Illinois. As you narrow your list, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can also show how a therapist describes their communication style and what you can expect from sessions.

Therapy in Buffalo Grove can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, view estimated costs upfront, and book directly when you’re ready.

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