I am a solution focused therapist with 39 years of experience. My therapy style is cognitive, interactive, compassionate, and, if need be, challenging.

You want more than symptom management. You're not just looking for coping strategies. You want to understand yourself. You want to grieve fully, not efficiently. You want a therapeutic relationship that can hold complexity, contradiction, and mystery. You want someone who won't rush you toward resolution before you're ready, and who trusts that you have within you what healing requires. You want to be seen, not diagnosed, not fixed, but genuinely witnessed.
I'm a licensed clinical professional counselor with over 25 years of experience, and grief is at the heart of my work. I understand grief not as a problem to be solved but as a profound human process, one that touches identity, relationship, body, and spirit all at once. I'm also a certified grief educator, which means I bring both clinical depth and real psychoeducational grounding to our work together.
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.

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.
