Hi, I’m Amy — a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 23 years of experience helping adults build confidence, manage anxiety, and find clarity in their next steps.

I am a dual board-certified psychiatric and geriatric nurse practitioner with over 25 years of healthcare experience, providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care to young adults, adults, and older adults. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, insomnia, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia spectrum disorders, and behavioral or psychological symptoms associated with dementia and complex medical conditions.
My experience spans hospital care, rehabilitation, hospice, and long-term care settings, giving me a deep understanding of the connection between physical and mental health. I am especially comfortable supporting individuals with multiple medical concerns or those navigating life transitions related to aging, illness, or stress.
I support clients through a warm, attuned, and relationship‐centered approach. My intention is to be collaborative, helpful, and grounded in trust‐based, relational work. If you’re ready for a space where your story is honored, I'm here. It can be a struggle in how we connect, trust, and regulate our emotions throughout life which influences our levels of anxiety, depression, and overall ability to manage mood. I have worked with persons with disabilities, children, adults, and families to help find balance.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Northbrook, IL
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.
