I have been practicing in the field of mental health for twelve years after receiving a Master of Social Work from University of Saint Francis. My hope is to help you navigate through the various stressors that are bringing you into therapy, in a warm, safe, confidential space. I want to help you understand what is maintaining your negative feelings and behaviors and find ways to work through them in a way that allows you to live your life to the fullest.
Your experience with me will always be grounded in compassion, honesty, and respect. I believe people grow when they feel heard and understood, so I work hard to create a space where you feel safe being yourself. I am collaborative and down-to-earth, and I will meet you exactly where you are while helping you move toward the life you want.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Chicago
Searching for postpartum therapists in Chicago starts with finding someone whose training matches the kind of support you want. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. Some therapists also support pregnancy therapy, new parent therapy, and therapy for new moms. As you compare options, look for therapists who list perinatal mental health, postpartum counseling, or counseling for postpartum depression in their specialties. A Perinatal Mental Health Certification, often listed as PMH-C, can also signal focused training in this area.
Chicago has many therapists across neighborhoods like Lincoln Park, Wicker Park, Hyde Park, Lakeview, and the Loop, which can make it hard to narrow the list. For new parents, practical details often matter as much as clinical fit. Consider appointment availability, evening or weekend options, office location, transit access, and whether the therapist offers virtual sessions. Virtual care can be especially useful when schedules shift, infant care changes, or in-person appointments are harder to plan. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their experience with postpartum depression therapy, their communication style, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before booking.
Therapy in Chicago can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for postpartum depression counselors and therapists who are accepting new patients, match your preferences, and accept a wide range of insurance plans. You can enter your insurance details, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
