Is your anxiety preventing you (or your child) from being who you (or they) want to be? Wish you or your child could just get over it? If it was only that simple. Sometimes we just need someone who can give us the tools to not be crippled with anxiety. Anxiety is a necessary part of life, but shouldn't interfere. You're not looking for someone to just talk to on an ongoing basis; that's what your friends and family are for (and you don't need to pay them!) I'm going to help you get in and out of my office feeling "cured" as quickly as we can so that you can save money and be who you want to be.
I specialize in anxiety treatment for a reason. I have personal experience with anxiety so I know what you or your child is going through. I previously worked in Chicago Public Schools so I know how they operate and can help you get the support your child is missing. I offer that bridge that is missing between school and clinic-based therapy.
Tired of having therapists that are just looking to keep you in ongoing therapy? So am I. My goal is to work myself out of a job and get you feeling that you don't need me anymore. I can also empathize with your anxiety, and not just because I am clinically trained.
