Mindful Connections Therapy, PLLC

Mindful Connections Therapy, PLLC I’m a therapist in the Buffalo Grove area. I am passionate about helping people cope with anxiety.

I have worked with individuals, couples, and groups in private practice, community mental health, and residential treatment since 2006. I have been trained by Postpartum Support International and volunteered on their warmline as well as the executive board of the Illinois Chapter. I have been trained by the Gottman Institute to run their Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work and Bringing Baby Home workshops. I have a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from The Family Institute at Northwestern University. When not working, I love to spend time outdoors with my family.

Parenting can be a little less stressful the more we understand about our kids’ brains and emotional development. A great book for this is “The Whole Brain Child” by Drs. Dan Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson.

Every seven-year-old has an inner world we don’t always see — and big feelings can still feel bigger than their words.
This visual gives voice to what many children wish they could say when they’re overwhelmed, misunderstood, or struggling to regulate.

If you’re supporting a young person who feels things deeply, our Managing Big Feelings Toolkit walks you through brain-based strategies that actually help — link in comments below ⬇️ or via Linktree Shop in Bio.

What’s one sentence from this visual that really landed for you? I’d love to hear — your reflections help others feel less alone.
