About Me

I am a clinical psychologist in Naperville, Illinois, specializing in trauma, abuse, anxiety, mood disorders, and LGBTQI+ support. I provide trauma counseling, EMDR, individual psychotherapy, and focused treatment in a respectful, confidential setting.

Approach

Safety and clear goals shape how we move forward, anchoring each session so you feel contained while we address difficult memories and present-day challenges. In my Naperville office, English-language sessions follow a steady rhythm: short check-ins, targeted processing or skills practice, and collaborative planning for what you’ll try between meetings. Assessments and measured pacing guide when we intensify work and when we build coping resources, keeping trauma sensitivity central. This approach suits people working through trauma, mood shifts, anxiety, or questions of identity who value practical, paced progress.
