At Catalyst Therapy & Consulting, I help adults and teens managing anxiety and difficult relationships ease overwhelm, let go of tension, and quiet your mind—so you can stop replaying the past, overthinking the future, and losing yourself to stress.
Together, we’ll help you feel calmer, more confident, and more present in your life and in your relationships.
Specialties: • Anxiety and stress • Adult children of critical, controlling, or challenging families • Toxic or narcissistic relationships
Constantly overthinking, replaying conversations, or unable to relax? Break free from the overwhelm and anxiety as we help you to ease your tension and calm your mind.
Has a relationship has shaken your sense of self? Validate your experience, rebuild your self-trust, set boundaries without guilt, and develop more fulfilling, healthier connections.
Anxious, drained, or walking on eggshells because of a difficult, emotionally immature, or critical relationship? Make sense of the confusion and find peace even in difficult moments.
You want to parent differently than what you experienced. Together, we’ll shift patterns and find practical strategies that foster calm, connection, and resilience for you and your children.
Ready for more but not sure what or how to get there? Challenge limits and find a renewed sense of energy and empowerment as you create a life that reflects your values, strengths, and ambitions.
Hi I’m Jessica
I’m a licensed therapist offering in-person sessions in Barrington, IL, and online therapy across Illinois. For more than a decade, I’ve helped adults and teens navigate anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, and the lasting impact of narcissistic or emotionally draining relationships. Therapy with me is a partnership—we’ll focus on what’s working, what’s not, and practical ways to create the change you’re ready for.

Starting therapy can feel like a lot, but my goal is to make it feel natural and helpful from the very start. You’ll walk away with fresh perspectives and concrete strategies you can use right away to find short-term relief. Over time, you’ll feel more resilient, confident, and connected—to yourself and in the moments that matter most.
