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.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over ten years of experience, working with adults and couples in individual therapy. I draw from Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to support clients facing ADHD, anxiety, depression, domestic violence, grief and loss, self injury, spirituality, substance use, and trauma or PTSD.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Rockford
Searching for therapists in Rockford starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Many people look for therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare Rockford therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties and approach match your needs. A therapist’s bio can help you understand their experience, communication style, and what to expect in sessions.
In a mid-sized city like Rockford, your best fit may be near Riverside, Coronado, East State, or available through virtual sessions. In-person therapy can be helpful if you prefer a set office location, while virtual therapy may fit better if your schedule changes or local options are limited. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session structure, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Therapy in Rockford 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 you book. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences and are accepting new patients, so you can review profiles, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready. You can also enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm coverage and see your estimated costs before booking.
