Are you tired of obsessing over food and weight? There are so many messages that make us feel like we need to control our body size, above all else. Trying to figure out how to be healthy and take care of yourself can feel like an exhausting, uphill battle. It's not your fault and you don’t have to go through it alone. Wherever you are in your treatment process - if you have an eating disorder or are concerned about your body, your weight or food - I can consult to help you decide your next step. Therapy isn't just for those with a diagnosable eating disorder. If your relationship with your food is distressing, you may need support.

Do you feel stuck? Are you tired of going through the same routines and habits that aren’t working?

A little bit of anxiety might be helpful to motivate you to study for a test, prepare for a work presentation, or make sure everything is locked up before you go away on a trip. However, excessive anxiety can become so difficult to manage that your day is ruled by your symptoms. If you are someone that finds your anxiety interfering with your daily life, I can help you manage your worries so that you can enjoy what actually matters to you.

Are you overwhelmed with anxiety, fear of uncertainty, and/or unwanted, intrusive thoughts? Are these experiences holding you back from engaging in meaningful parts of your life? If yes, you are not alone. Unmanaged anxiety and OCD can be incredibly painful and lead to feelings of sadness and shame. But there is hope. By learning how to manage the fears, thoughts, and behaviors that keep you stuck, you can begin to embrace the uncertainty and live a more present and fulfilling life.

Are you experiencing symptoms of anxiety, OCD, stress or depression? Are you looking for an experienced therapist who can effectively help you get back on track?

My approach involves teaching people ways to rewire their brains for long term gains. My clientele can often include CEOs, high profile athletes and other celebrities. My sessions are solution focused and the high success rate helps treatment be short term for most people. My practice has earned several awards over the past years.

Every individual has resilience that can help light the way through the hardest of times. Sometimes in life, it may be hard to remember that this strength lies within. My goal as a psychologist is to help rekindle that light, instilling hope and motivation in clients to use their strengths and build support networks to overcome life's hurdles. With respect for each client's individuality, I personalize treatment plans to best fits one's unique situation and personality. This may involve incorporating mindfulness, animal assisted therapy, parenting skills, group therapy, art/music, journaling, and use of electronics/social media.

Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a passion for helping individuals navigate complex anxiety and OCD disorders. I earned my master's degree in social work from the University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign and have honed my expertise in Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) settings. My professional journey has led me to specialize in treating OCD and anxiety disorders, particularly in adolescents and adults. Alongside these specialties, I have experience addressing a variety of diagnostic issues including mood disorders and life transitions.

When it comes to mental health treatment, our approach is simple and unique: our accomplished team of physicians and therapists work together to diagnose and treat your body, mind and spirit as a whole. We are one of the few practices combining traditional treatment with evidence-based alternative therapies, all under one roof. We are privileged to have changed the lives of many families in Chicago's North Shore, as well as out-of-state and foreign visitors. Our "whole body" approach to treating mental health conditions is supported by clinical studies. These include but are not limited to: Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), diet and exercise, spiritual/social evaluation, yoga and art therapy. Many still focus only on the brain, treating symptoms, not causes. In many cases they over-prescribe medications. While our physicians do prescribe medications as needed, what sets us apart is our commitment to explore all options. We search for root causes and provide the most appropriate treatment, not merely the most convenient one. When we do prescribe, we go the extra mile to customize a plan that minimizes side effects. You and your family deserve the best in healthcare!

It can be difficult to ask for support, especially when you aren't sure how it all works. I will work with you to create a treatment plan that makes sense to you and meets your unique goals.
