Mindful Connections Therapy, PLLC

Mindful Connections Therapy, PLLC Iโ€™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 Masterโ€™s Degree in Counseling Psychology from The Family Institute at Northwestern University. When not working, I love to spend time outdoors with my family.
