I specialize in working with teens, adults, and parents, addressing anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and mood disorders. I am passionate about helping people grow and thrive. Like any powerful transformation, the journey from 'before' to 'after' requires effort and perseverance. I understand the challenges of that in-between phase, but I remain hopeful and optimistic that you can achieve your personal best. With hard work and strength-based therapeutic support, your ‘after’ is within reach. My goal is to meet you where you are and to guide you toward where you want to be.

I approach therapy as “expert companionship," guiding people towards healing, personal growth, where they can feel safe and free to learn how to shift from surviving to thriving. In my therapy sessions, my number one priority is to create an environment where each person feels emotionally safe and accepted, no matter what the issues are, and a place to feel welcome to explore what is going on, try out new skills, new ways of looking at situations, and new ways of approaching problems.

Clients come to me and receive compassionate care without negative judgment as a means to make meaning of the events of their lives. That new understanding, gained in a supportive coaching relationship with the therapist, becomes the foundation for positive change. Open and self-aware clients tend to want validation of their thoughts and challenges to what hasn't worked. Skeptical clients tend to desire safety and assurance that someone is on their side. Regardless of the category, clients tend to get what they need from one session to the next.

Many of those looking for psychotherapy are responding to the feeling that things in life are breaking apart. Whether you are experiencing unwanted symptoms or seeking greater self-understanding about your interpersonal patterns, mental health treatment can be a powerful tool to help us learn how to live in ways that align with our deepest values. I have experiences working with those who are navigating significant life changes, those seeking healing from old and new wounds, and those working to integrate loss and pain including intergenerational trauma and spiritual concerns.

Burned out and overwhelmed from taking care of everyone around you? It's a familiar story to many women, particularly if your job already involves keeping everyone else happy and well (here's looking at you, doctors, nurses, teachers, and moms!). You may find yourself feeling depressed, overthinking things, and never quite sure what "self care" means. That makes sense, with so much on your plate! In a perfect world, you'd be able to manage all of The Everything, maintain great relationships, and still find time for yourself. But, things are feeling far from perfect. And that's what brings you here.

I see children, adolescents and adults in person and via telehealth. I utilize a client centered approach where I give unconditional positive regard to my clients in a non-judgmental therapeutic setting. I integrate CBT and DBT skills that are evidence-based for treatment. I have seen clients meet their treatment goals and develop positive coping skills to effectively manage their distressing symptoms. The greatest gift of therapy is the therapeutic alliance between the therapist and the client which elicits change and allows the client to use the tools that they have learned to make lifelong gains.

How can I find a therapist in Illinois?

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.

Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

How much does therapy cost?

The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.

What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?

Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.

Are therapy sessions confidential?

Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
