Virtual & in-person • Glenview, IL


I love working with teens, parents and adults who are looking to improve their resiliency, communication and coping skills. There are many challenges and demands that families must face, and I can build strong supportive relationships to help others navigate the obstacles and transitions that life brings. I strive to help clients feel understood and safe so they can work towards examining their feelings and needs while looking to gain calmness, confidence and clarity.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Homewood

Finding the right therapist in Homewood, IL starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider whether you want support for a specific concern — such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or life transitions — or a more general space to talk through what's on your mind. From there, look for a licensed provider whose specialty and approach match your needs. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their style and decide if they feel like a good fit.

Homewood and the surrounding south suburbs are home to a range of mental health providers, including licensed clinical social workers, professional counselors, psychologists, and psychiatrists. Some offer in-person sessions at offices in the area, while others are available virtually. If scheduling flexibility matters to you, virtual sessions can make it easier to find an appointment that fits your calendar.

Therapy in the Chicago metro area can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay out of pocket. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans — making it easier to find a provider who fits your needs and your budget.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
