Welcome — I'm so glad you're here! With 23 years of experience as a school social worker, I am passionate about helping children, adolescents, and families navigate life's challenges and build the skills needed to thrive at home, school and in their communities. I work with children and teens ages 3-17, as well as parents and caregivers who are seeking support, guidance, and practical strategies to strengthen family relationships, work through family conflicts and improve daily functioning. My goal is to help build the necessary skills to strengthen relationships and homeostasis within family structures and the individual.
I specialize in working with neurodivergent children, adolescents, and families including those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA), social-communication challenges, anxiety, emotional regulation difficulties, and behavioral challenges. I also specialize in working with high conflict family dynamics which include parent-child relationships, divorce (for families that are both in and/or out of the family court system), sibling rivalry, and multicultural child rearing.
My approach blends clinical rigor with genuine warmth. I ask a lot of questions, not to check boxes, but because I want to understand the full picture of your life, biology, and history before we decide on a path forward. I'm not interested in just managing symptoms; I want to understand the root of what's going on — whether that's biological, situational, relational, or some combination- so that treatment actually addresses the cause, not just the surface presentation. Clients often describe our sessions as feeling more like being truly listened to than being processed through an appointment. As an integrative provider, medication is one tool among several we might use, and I stay curious rather than settling for the first explanation.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Skokie
Searching for therapists in Skokie starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists can help with concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose training, listed specialties, and approach match what you want to focus on. A bio that mentions cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or work with specific life stages can help you understand whether their style fits your needs.
Skokie has local therapy options, and availability may vary by schedule, office location, and specialty. Virtual appointments can also expand your options across Illinois, which may help if you want a specific therapy approach or need appointment times outside a fixed office schedule. Before booking, review whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers in-person or virtual sessions, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles closely can also show how a therapist communicates, what session structure may look like, and what kinds of concerns they often support.
Therapy in Skokie can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and get a clearer estimate before your first appointment. Headway helps you compare therapists who are accepting new clients, enter your insurance details, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. From there, you can browse profiles, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
