Hello! My name is Anthony, and I’m honored to walk alongside clients of all ages and backgrounds on their journey toward healing and growth. My passion is helping people manage their mental health, build resilience, and step into the best version of themselves.

Growing up in a large Italian family taught me the value of connection, loyalty, family and showing up for the people you love—principles I carry into my work as a therapist. I am deeply passionate about supporting others in navigating challenges that can feel overwhelming. I believe in the importance of decreasing the stigma around mental health and creating space for people to feel seen without judgment. My goal is to grow as a leader in the field. Being a therapist reflects both my personal passion and my commitment to advancing a culture where seeking help is viewed as a strength.

I earned my bachelor’s degree from Loyola University Chicago and my M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology.

My path to this profession is deeply personal. After losing my father to suicide, I faced my own struggles with anxiety, OCD, and depression. Therapy gave me tools, hope, and healing that transformed my life, inspiring me to help others find the same sense of strength and freedom. For me, counseling means reclaiming your life, finding empowerment, and moving forward with resilience.
When you work with me, you can expect a compassionate, respectful, and non-judgmental space where you feel truly understood and supported. I am also passionate about reducing the stigma around mental health and encouraging people to take that courageous step into counseling.

I have experience supporting clients with a wide range of concerns—from everyday stressors to more serious challenges. My hospital training gave me extensive experience with trauma, grief, suicidal thoughts and behaviors, mood disorders, and psychosis. I also have a special interest in OCD, anxiety, ADHD, and depression—areas I have both studied and personally navigated in my own recovery.

Beyond symptom management, I enjoy helping people strengthen self-esteem, build confidence, and navigate life transitions such as starting college, entering adulthood, parenting, or adjusting to a new season of life. I also work with families to improve communication and build healthier relationships.

In therapy, I draw on evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, ACT, and ART. These tools help clients reframe negative beliefs, develop healthy coping strategies, regulate emotions, and live in alignment with their values. At the core of my work, my goal is to provide loyal and compassionate support as clients grow into their fullest, most authentic selves.

For Fun…

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and my orange cat, Sofia. You’ll often find me working out, reading, building Legos, cooking, exploring new places, trying new foods, or relaxing with a good movie, podcast, or video game. I also love learning languages like Japanese, French, and Spanish.
