Finding the Right Therapist
I work with people who feel stuck — whether it’s OCD that runs your day, anxiety that won’t turn off, depression that keeps you numb, or the weight of grief or trauma that won’t lift.
Many of my clients come in saying the same thing: “I’ve been trying to handle this on my own, but nothing’s changing.” That’s usually where we start — shifting from survival to recovery.
How Therapy Works Here
I believe therapy should be both compassionate and structured. You’ll always know what we’re working on and why. Together, we’ll track your progress so you can see your own growth — not just feel it.
I use evidence-based approaches that match what you’re struggling with:
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD and anxiety
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for depression, motivation, and self-criticism
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for trauma recovery
Grief therapy to help you find meaning and connection again after loss
Each of these methods focuses on helping you regain control — so your symptoms stop controlling you.
What Makes This Work
Therapy is most effective when it’s collaborative. That means I’ll bring structure, tools, and accountability, and you’ll bring honesty and effort. Progress isn’t about perfection — it’s about learning to live with more calm, clarity, and confidence.
Many of my clients say the biggest surprise was how quickly therapy started to feel different — more focused, more hopeful, and more human.
In-Person and Online Options
I see clients in person at my Westmont, Illinois office, and through secure telehealth sessions across Illinois. Whether you prefer to sit in a quiet office or log in from home, both options are equally effective.
If You’re Ready
If you’ve been searching for therapy that’s grounded in science but still feels human, you’re in the right place. The first step is just reaching out. From there, we’ll figure out what’s getting in your way and start changing it together.
