I believe healing begins with feeling truly seen, heard, and understood. As a bilingual (English/Spanish) LCSW in Illinois, I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, and life's bigger transitions. My approach is warm,
practical, and grounded in what the research says works. Whether you are carrying something heavy or simply ready for a change, I meet you where you are. I would love to
be part of your journey toward the life you want to build. Let's connect.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) dedicated to providing a safe, supportive, and clinically grounded environment for individuals and families navigating life’s most difficult challenges. Since earning my Master’s Degree in Social Work in 2004, I have spent over 15 years helping people move from places of uncertainty and pain toward clarity, resilience, and confidence.
I come to therapy with a background in education and theater, which has deeply shaped how I connect with people and understand the human experience. My work is rooted in helping individuals better define who they are, where they want to be, and what may be standing in the way of getting there.
I believe therapy is a collaborative process built on curiosity, honesty, and growth. Together, we’ll identify obstacles, explore patterns, and engage with challenges in a meaningful way until we find solutions that truly work for you. My goal is to provide a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
I’m a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan, and I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. Many of the people I support are navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, grief, identity questions, or the quiet pressure of holding everything together without feeling seen.
I work with men, women, LGBTQ+ individuals, neurodivergent adults, and people of color, particularly those who feel misunderstood or overlooked. Therapy is a place to slow down, make sense of what you’re carrying, and reconnect with parts of yourself that may have been pushed aside over time.
I specialize in counseling individuals with addictions, eating disorders, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and trauma. My goal as a therapist is to help patients live the life they imagine, so please feel free to come in and let me know what you're struggling with, and we will work collaboratively to figure out the best way to move toward healing. I know life can get really challenging at times, symptoms flare up, you feel lost. I'm here to listen to you and work together to help you cope and rebuild the life you want to live.
With nearly three decades of experience, I've learned that meaningful change begins when people feel truly heard, understood, and supported. I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and major life transitions. Having grown up in India and continued my education in both the United Kingdom and the United States, I also bring an appreciation for how culture, family, and life experiences can shape who we are. My goal is to provide a warm, compassionate space where you can build on your strengths, gain practical tools, and create lasting change.
I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Illinois with over 8 years of experience supporting individuals across the lifespan. I began my career as an Early Childhood Teacher which sparked my passion for helping others and transitioned to social work. I believe prioritizing mental health is essential to overall stability and well-being. I have experience working with children, adolescents adults and older adults who are managing PTSD, grief depression, anxiety and adjustment disorders.
My practice centers on helping people work through depression, ADHD, and bipolar disorder with care that actually fits their life. I've been in independent practice for about two years, and in that time I've found that the providers people stay with are the ones who listen well and adjust as things change. I'm a PMHNP with full practice authority, so I can manage medications and provide psychiatric services without a collaborating physician. I see clients via telehealth throughout Illinois, with flexible scheduling available Monday through Saturday. If you've been waiting to find someone who's approachable and genuinely wants to get you moving in the right direction, I'd like to be that person.
Clients should know that I approach therapy with empathy, respect, and a genuine commitment to understanding their unique experiences. I believe that meaningful change happens when people feel safe, supported, and free from judgment.
My work is also shaped by personal experience with depression and anxiety, which has given me a deeper appreciation for the courage it takes to seek help and confront difficult emotions. Because of this, I strive to create a compassionate and collaborative space where clients feel heard and understood.
I view therapy as a partnership. Together, we work to build insight, develop practical tools, and support meaningful, lasting change.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with more than 15 years of experience helping adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigate life's challenges. I specialize in working with anxiety, ADHD, relationship concerns, stress, and major life transitions. As the owner and clinical director of Waterbrook Therapy Group, I'm committed to providing compassionate, practical, and personalized care that helps clients move toward greater peace, resilience, and well-being.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Park Ridge
Searching for therapists in Park Ridge starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. Therapists may work with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare Park Ridge therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and credentials that align with your needs. A licensed clinical professional counselor, licensed clinical social worker, psychologist, or other licensed therapist may use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Park Ridge is a smaller city, so local in-person openings may vary by schedule, office location, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your options while keeping your search connected to Illinois-licensed therapists. Consider whether you prefer an office near downtown Park Ridge, nearby neighborhoods, or a virtual appointment that fits your calendar. It also helps to review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that work for you, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can show how each therapist describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Park Ridge can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway lets you enter your insurance details, view therapists who match your preferences, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. You can browse therapists in Park Ridge, review bios, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.
