Therapists in Chicago, IL
In my 12 years of practice as a psychotherapist, I have worked with people facing many struggles, including surviving past trauma and abuse, feeling suicidal, and severe/chronic mental illness. As a member of the LGBTQ community, I have worked with many people who identify as LGBTQ, and have supported people through coming out, gender transition, and accessing gender-affirming health care. As a white therapist, when working with BIPOC clients, I use the frameworks of anti-racism and cultural humility, and strive to make space for exploring the impacts of racism and racial differences.

Hello, I’m Steph! I’m so glad you found your way here. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and grief. Clients often feel overwhelmed, stuck in self-criticism, disconnected, or exhausted from carrying so much internally. They may struggle with overthinking, people-pleasing, boundaries, or emotional distress. I provide a warm, collaborative space where you are the expert on your experience and I work to build a relationship grounded in safety and trust. Together, we build insight and coping skills so you can feel more grounded and supported in daily life.

If you or your child have been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or caught in patterns that don’t feel easy to explain, you’re not alone. Big emotions and past experiences can show up in ways that feel confusing or heavy. You might be looking for a therapist who offers support without pressure—someone who can help things feel more manageable and understood.
I work with children, teens, and young adults to explore emotions, make sense of experiences, and develop tools that support grounding, confidence, and connection.

The start of therapy is often a painful or stressful time. I will work with you to improve your current life and increase your future resilience. I believe the foundation of this work is often the experience of being truly heard. There are stories behind the things we do and the feelings we have. We usually know parts of these stories, but therapy helps us to know more. As we come to know more, we gain more control, and it becomes easier to meet life’s challenges. Additionally, we become better at seeing people and situations for what they really are, which helps us to avoid ruts at work and in our relationships.

Reaching out for support takes courage, especially during life’s more challenging moments. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck in cycles of anxiety, anger, or sadness that seem impossible to break. Often, they've tried to "push through" on their own, only to find themselves overwhelmed, exhausted, or self-critical.

Together, we’ll work to understand what’s holding you back and develop new, healthier patterns. Meaningful change is absolutely possible, and you don’t have to do it alone.

You’ve invested in your career, your family, and your well-being—but something feels out of sync. What once brought you joy now leaves you feeling empty.
