Are you the one everyone counts on? Always saying yes, always showing up, always putting others first? Many people of faith quietly carry the weight of "being good" until they feel spiritually and emotionally drained. If that sounds familiar, I want you to know your needs matter too.
I earned my Master's in Clinical Psychology at Wheaton College Graduate School, and my work is deeply shaped by a respect for faith and the complex role it plays in our lives. I walk alongside clients navigating over-giving, self-doubt, anxiety, trauma, and the hurt that sometimes comes from church or religious community wounds. Whatever you're carrying, we'll move at a pace that feels safe, never rushed.
I draw from EMDR, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral tools, woven together with faith-integrated care when that matters to you. More than any specific technique, I offer a steady, compassionate presence where you can show up exactly as you are. I believe God has already placed strength and capaci

Every person has a story that deserves care and attention. Life, trauma, and stress can quiet your voice and blur your sense of who you are. In therapy, I'll be a steady mirror so you can see your strengths, your story, and your capacity to heal.
I completed my undergraduate work at Hope College in Holland, Michigan, and my Master's in Social Work at Boston College. I look at the whole picture of your life, your health, your family, your work, your community, and yes, your faith. If spirituality matters to you, we can include it in our work. If faith feels complicated or wounded right now, we can hold space for that too.
I work with adults navigating life transitions, grief and loss, anxiety and depression, relationship patterns, the shift from pregnancy to motherhood, and chronic pain or complex medical challenges. Many people face several of these at once. Therapy gives you time to slow down, make sense of things, and choose the next right step.

One of our deepest longings is to be truly known. That can feel scary, especially when we're also trying to honor our faith. As a therapist and the founder of Panahi Counseling, my goal is to come alongside you and help you reconnect with your most authentic self, the person God created you to be.
Together we'll gently peel back layers of hurt, pain, and protective coping that once kept us safe but have grown heavy. Many of the strategies we learned in childhood or in hard seasons shielded us from difficult things. In therapy, we make room to examine them, and to set down what no longer serves you.
I see myself as a fellow traveler rather than someone standing above you. I've spent years walking with clients carrying the weight of anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relational wounds, many of whom were also wrestling with hard questions about faith, family, and meaning. I draw from EMDR and other evidence-based approaches, and I hold deep respect for the place your spiritual

LCSW
Thinking about starting therapy can feel overwhelming, uncomfortable, even a little scary. Whatever has brought you to this moment, I want you to know you're welcome here. My goal is to help you make the changes in your life that leave you feeling more self-assured, less anxious, and more hopeful about what's ahead.
I'm a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and a certified addiction counselor (CADC) with over a decade of experience in hospital-based mental health care. Alongside my work at Panahi Counseling, I also practice in Behavioral Health Services at Central DuPage Hospital. I bring a warm, respectful, and compassionate style to each session. I'll support you, and when it's helpful, I'll gently challenge you too.
I work with adolescents, young adults, parents, and individuals facing anxiety, depression, postpartum struggles, addiction, codependency, self-esteem, and relationship issues. If faith is part of your life and you'd like it to have a place in our work together,

I believe there is dignity in every person's story, and my work as a therapist starts from that foundation. When you walk into a session with me, my goal is to meet you exactly where you are, without judgment, and to create a space built on empathy, honesty, and trust.
Many of the struggles we carry, whether it's depression, anxiety, grief, or conflict in our closest relationships, can feel isolating. For people of faith, there's often an added layer: the quiet worry that needing help means something is wrong with your walk with God. It doesn't. Reaching out takes courage, and I'm honored to walk alongside you.
My style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I help clients explore their personal values, including faith values when those are central, and use them as a compass for the changes they want to make. I have experience supporting clients through depression, anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, anger, questions of meaning and identity, trauma, and faith-related struggles.
