“An experienced, competent and compassionate therapist working primarily with adults experiencing anxiety, depression and life changes”

About Me

When anxiety, depression, or big life shifts feel heavy, finding understanding is key. This therapist provides a calm, compassionate space for adults to navigate these challenges. They help clients gently unpack their experiences, offering grounded support to build inner strength. Sessions focus on developing practical ways to manage difficult emotions, fostering a renewed sense of hope and greater well-being.

Approach

Experience and compassion shape a steady, practical way of working: sessions are calm, focused, and paced to your needs. In my Chicago office or online in English, we track what feels most stressful, try small, doable adjustments between meetings, and practise simple grounding and thought-reflection exercises together so insights translate into daily relief. You can expect clear, collaborative check-ins, gentle challenges when helpful, and time to notice change. This approach tends to suit adults ready for steady, skill-based support through transitions and low mood.
