When stress starts to build, it can affect more than just your day-to-day life. It can impact your mood, your energy, and your relationships. I work with adults and couples who are navigating anxiety, depression, workplace stress, and burnout. Many of my clients are used to juggling responsibilities, caring for others, and pushing through difficult seasons until they realize they're no longer feeling like themselves. You might feel constantly overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, or like you can’t fully “turn off” your mind. At the same time, stress can begin to show up in your relationships through miscommunication, distance, or frustration, making it harder to feel connected and supported.

Are you tired of carrying things that are just too heavy for you to carry alone anymore? As a licensed professional counselor, I can help you carry that load. In my 12 years as a counselor, I've worked with families, children, adolescents, and adults of all ages in homes, outpatient offices, and online. I have a Ph.D. in counselor education and supervision, and have taught in graduate counseling programs, but my first love is working directly with individuals who are dealing with the effects of trauma, grief, burnout, or anxiety. I am a Christian and would be happy to incorporate your spiritual beliefs, whether Christian or not, into our work together, if desired.

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 Oak Park

Finding the right therapist in Oak Park starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider whether you want help with a specific concern — such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, ADHD, or grief — or whether you're looking for broader support. Providers in Oak Park include licensed therapists (LCSWs, LCPCs, LMFTs, and psychologists) as well as psychiatrists who can prescribe and manage medication. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match.

Oak Park is home to a strong mental health community, with providers offering care in neighborhoods near the Arts District, along Lake Street, and throughout the village. Many providers offer both in-person and virtual sessions, giving you flexibility to choose what works with your schedule. If logistics like appointment times or session format matter to you, look for a provider whose availability matches your routine.

Therapy in the Chicago metro area can be expensive without coverage, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and your out-of-pocket cost may be as low as $0 per session depending on your plan and location.

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