Are you feeling overwhelmed by the constant demands of work, parenting, or life in general? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. I work with adults who are struggling to manage stress, burnout, anxiety, and depression, especially those trying to juggle the pressures of professional and personal responsibilities. I have a special focus on supporting educators and school professionals who often give so much to others that their own well-being takes a back seat. Together, we’ll create a supportive, collaborative space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful change. My approach is warm, practical, and tailored to help you feel better and find a sense of balance again. Before transitioning into private practice, I spent 34 years working in public schools, helping students, families, and staff navigate life’s challenges. That experience gave me a deep understanding of how stress shows up across all areas of life—and how important it is to have a safe place to process, heal, and grow.

Hello! I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with more than four years of experience supporting individuals as they navigate life's challenges, transitions, and opportunities for growth. My ideal clients can be emerging adult looking for a safe place to land as they figure out who they are and where they're headed, or adults who feel overwhelmed by the demands and chaos of life and are looking to regain their footing. I take a person-centered, relational approach to therapy, which means I believe the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important parts of the healing process. I strive to create a space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted. I approach each person's story with curiosity, compassion, and a nonjudgemental perspective, recognizing that every journey is unique. While therapy can involve difficult conversations, I also believe there's room for humor along the way. When appropriate, I enjoy brining warmth, authenticity, and a little laughter into sessions to help make the process feel more approachable and human.

Sometimes it feels like the actual apocalypse is just around the corner. We are bombarded with terrible headline after terrible headline. Inflation is making it harder to pay the bills, let alone have fun, or reach our dreams. With so much going on in the world, it’s no wonder that there are greater rates of anxiety and depression! In the midst of it all, you might be trying to figure out who you are, what you want from life, how to have that honest conversation with your friend, setting boundaries with a parent, whether to switch jobs, learning to be more comfortable in your skin, etc. It’s a lot to manage. I can help. I am a licensed psychologist and consider myself a generalist with a wide variety of clinical interests including issues related to family of origin, self esteem, identity development, issues related to oppression and marginalized identities, depression, anxiety, stress, and interpersonal relationships.

Greetings, It has always been my desire to serve and bring out the best in people. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Practitioner of the Healing Arts, my commitment to this work is both personal and professional. Growing up with two parents who struggled with addiction, I experienced anxiety and depression at an early age and made a conscious choice not to become a product of my environment. Instead, I chose a different path , one rooted in healing, understanding and helping others find their way through difficult chapters of their own lives. My lifelong interest in human behavior and emotional functioning led me into this field, where I strive to help clients gain clarity, develop meaningful coping skills, and move toward their desired goals. I work best with individuals who are ready to roll up their sleeves and actively participate in their healing process. You’ve already taken a courageous first step by reaching out; now let’s explore whether we are a good fit, as it would be an honor to collaborate with you. I value transparency, authenticity, and a strong therapeutic connection. You are the expert in your lived experience; my role is to support, guide, and walk alongside you as you move toward growth, balance, and emotional well-being.

Hi I’m Gina! Do you know that everyone feels overwhelmed from time to time? Balancing the demands of life, family, and work can be challenging. I have PhD and MSW from the University of Illinois at Chicago. I am a highly trained therapist with experience helping people recover and achieve their personal and professional goals. My approach is filtered through a diverse lens that views all clients as having the ability to work through challenges. Sometimes all you need is a little help to move forward. Building upon your strengths and past coping mechanisms will help you develop better ways of managing stress and conflict. There are many interventions such as meditation, cognitive behavioral, family systems and solution focused therapy that can be used to tackle the issues affecting your emotional wellbeing. I know seeking therapy can feel scary, but you are making the right decision. Contact me today so we can discuss how therapy can help you.

Hello, I’m Suzette, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I work with teens and adults dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, life changes, and women’s issues. Many of my clients are feeling overwhelmed, dealing with pressure, trying to manage relationships, or simply trying to figure things out while handling everyday responsibilities. I also enjoy working with athletes and understand that the challenges they face go beyond the game. With specialized training in Sport Social Work, I help athletes work through confidence issues, performance pressure, negative self-talk, and the challenges that come with balancing sports and everyday life. My style is direct, supportive, and down-to-earth. I believe therapy should be a place where you can be yourself, have honest conversations, and feel comfortable talking about what's going on in your life. We'll work together to figure out what's getting in the way and what you can do to move forward.
