I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a Master of Social Work. My professional background includes providing psychotherapy in private-practice and juvenile-justice settings, where I have supported adolescents and adults from diverse cultural backgrounds. I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, emotional regulation, relationship concerns, and major life transitions.

My therapeutic style is warm, compassionate, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I use trauma-informed, strength-based, person-centered, and cognitive-behavioral approaches tailored to each client’s needs. As someone who values faith, resilience, family, and personal growth, I understand the importance of feeling genuinely seen and supported during difficult seasons. When requested, I offer faith-sensitive care that respectfully incorporates a client’s Christian beliefs. My strength is creating a safe environment where clients can process difficult experiences, recognize their strengths, develop practical coping skills, and move toward meaningful, lasting change.

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


Hello, and welcome. I believe that healing does not happen in isolation.

Each of us is shaped by our families, communities, culture, socioeconomic experiences, and the systems we move through every day. My work is grounded in understanding the full context of who you are — not just your symptoms.

I began my career in community-based settings, which deeply shaped my belief that people are incredibly resilient when given the right support and tools. I am trained at the Family Institute, where I developed a strong foundation in understanding how generational patterns, family systems, and cultural narratives influence our decision-making, relationships, and emotional well-being.

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 Northbrook

Searching for therapists in Northbrook starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may want help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare options for Northbrook counseling, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy approach, and experience match what you want to focus on. A profile that explains how a therapist works can help you understand whether their style feels aligned before you book.

Northbrook has local therapy options, but availability can vary in smaller suburban markets. Virtual care can expand your search beyond nearby offices while keeping you connected with a therapist licensed in Illinois. You can also narrow your options by appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and the type of care they provide. Reading therapist bios can help you compare communication style, specialties, and session structure in one place.

Therapy in Northbrook can be a significant expense 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 start. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences, may accept your plan, and offer virtual or in-person appointments. You can review profiles, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose a therapist in Northbrook when you are ready.

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