I'm a psychotherapist, graduate professor, anxiety expert and owner of The Centered Life, a group therapy practice in Naperville. For over 13 years, I have loved helping people to become more resilient, confident and overall happier in their life. I believe all people deserve that. I’m also deeply passionate about making an impact beyond the therapy room: helping to break the silence around mental health and challenge the idea that needing support is weak or something to hide. Going to therapy is one of the most courageous things a person can do. At our practice, our mission is to de-stigmatize mental health, because when people feel safe to seek help, speak out, connect, and heal, we all benefit.
