Virtual & in-person • 28 mi away • Batavia, IL


Welcome! I have 30 years of experience supporting people through a variety of life challenges. I am a trauma-informed therapist and my specialties include helping with anxiety, trauma, stress management, life transitions, and depression. My deep, intuitive understanding includes lived experience, and clinical wisdom that only comes with decades of practice and life.

My approach to therapy includes Somatic-Focused therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral therapy, Compassion-Focused therapy, Polyvagal-informed, and Psychodynamic therapy. I am also a Certified Yoga Therapist so I am able to integrate the ancient tools of yoga into my work with you if you are interested; breath-based gentle movement, meditation, visualization, etc. The breath is the gateway to the central nervous system--calming and strengthening it is the key to reducing anxiety and healing trauma. This broad approach allows me to meet you where you are at while holding a safe, supportive space for you.

Working with others on their healing journey is my life's passion. We will start by building a strong, supportive relationship; warmth, compassion, and respect are at the very heart of my work. Our sessions will be tailored to fit your specific needs. I understand that seeking help can be difficult and it takes courage to take that first step. I will be honored to join you on your healing journey towards a more joyful 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 a Mental Health Therapist in Buffalo Grove, IL

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.
