Your mind can be loud even when everything looks fine from the outside. You may be replaying conversations because of anxiety, struggling to keep up with an ADHD brain, feeling disconnected from yourself during depression, or noticing that food and eating have begun taking up more emotional space than you want. You deserve somewhere you can talk about what is really happening without feeling judged or expected to have it all figured out. I provide virtual individual therapy for adolescents and adults throughout Illinois, with a focus on anxiety, ADHD, depression, and eating disorders. I also support clients navigating relationship and family concerns, stress, grief and loss, trauma and PTSD, women’s issues, identity exploration, and LGBTQIA+ or transgender experiences when those concerns are part of the bigger picture. My goal is to offer a warm, affirming space where you can understand yourself more clearly, reconnect with your strengths, and begin feeling more comfortable in your own life.
