Therapist

I work with older adults and individuals living with serious mental illness who may be feeling overwhelmed by life changes, emotional stress, health concerns, loss, or isolation. Many of my clients come in carrying too much for too long, feeling stuck, discouraged, or disconnected from themselves.

Whatever brings you here, my goal is to offer a space that feels steady and respectful — where you can slow down, be heard, and start making sense of what’s been heavy. You don’t have to have it all figured out; we’ll take things one step at a time, without pressure or judgment.

Therapist

If you're struggling with addiction, carrying the weight of complex trauma, or trying to cope while managing a chronic health condition, I want you to know there's a way forward — and you don't have to walk it alone. I'm a Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor (CADC) with over 16 years of experience across private practice, residential substance abuse treatment, medical social work, and the non-profit world. I've sat with people in their hardest, most overwhelming moments, and I bring that same steady, non-judgmental presence to every session.

Much of my work centers on substance use and recovery, complex trauma, and the emotional toll of chronic medical conditions. Whether you're in the thick of a crisis or finally ready to address something you've carried for years, I'll meet you exactly where you are — with compassion, real tools, and zero judgment.

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 Springfield

Finding the right therapist in Springfield, IL starts with identifying what kind of support you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma, or another area, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your specific situation can make a meaningful difference. Common credentials to look for include LCSWs, LPCs, LMFTs, and psychologists — each with distinct training backgrounds and areas of focus.

Beyond specialty, consider the practical details that affect whether you'll stick with care. Location, appointment availability, session format (in-person or virtual), and therapeutic approach all play a role. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their style and decide if they feel like a good match. Many providers in Springfield also offer a free phone consultation, giving you a chance to connect before committing.

Therapy in Springfield can be expensive without coverage, but affordable options exist when you use in-network insurance benefits. Verifying your insurance before your first session helps you understand what you'll pay out of pocket. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront — and some patients may pay as low as $0 per visit, though costs vary based on location and coverage. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.

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