Therapist

With nearly thirty years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) I bring warmth and a genuine commitment to helping people move forward in their lives.

I work with a wide range of ages, from teens and young adults, to older individuals who find themselves at a crossroad and looking to make a change. Anxiety, Depression and Executive Functioning are several of the issues I cover. I also have a particular interest in Family Therapy, including the unique challenges that come with divorce and co-parenting.

I feel change really happens when we shift our attention toward new possibilities. I draw from a blend of cognitive therapy and interactive techniques tailored for the individuality of each client. My style is warm, direct, and often infused with humor, an essential part of healing.

I am highly responsive and profoundly invested in the well-being of every client.

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.
