We are all travelers in this lifetime. Everyone is traveling to the same destination, but all benefit from a guide/professional support. I pass no judgment, I only meet people where they are at and where they wish to be. Let's get you to where you wish to be. I do encourage holistic and alternative methods to get to your goals, but am not against traditional approaches and in fact combining clinical with alternative have proven to have the best outcomes. Be prepared to put in the work. There will be homework, and it will be challenging. It could in fact be the most difficult thing that you do, but it is in your best interest.

I know what it's like to feel stuck.

You know something needs to change- because you've been carrying all this guilt around for too long without any support. Maybe you've considered giving up a time or two- and that's why you're here. Either way, you're exhausted. And that makes sense.

If you're looking for a therapist who specializes in working with individuals who experienced hurt due to relational wounds, you're in the right place.

Many of the clients I work with struggle with complex attachment wounds, religious trauma and perfectionism disguised as strength. I work alongside my clients to address the root of the overwhelm and shame by offering intensive EMDR (for private-pay only), IFS-informed, holistic self-love practices and person-centered psychology that leads to experiencing true empowerment and connection to your intuition.

As a therapist dedicated to inner growth, I offer a space where we can delve into the parts of you that are intriguing and challenging. I draw from EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Attachment-Based approaches, and Mindfulness to support your journey. By integrating these methods, we'll explore the mind-body-spirit connection, and seek to understand the root causes of your struggles as opposed to just managing symptoms.

I enjoy working with individuals through the journey of achieving the goals they have with counseling or even just helping them figure out their goals. I feel like individuals are who they are based on their experiences and that when we give them time to view experiences from a holistic view point, they will recognize that they are powerful.


Counseling is not something that is necessarily a quick fix, but you will hopefully walk away with some insight on how you can move forward in a positive and healthy manner.


I recognize the impact being a member of a marginalized group can have on someone and respect the needs of all of these populations. I look forward to answering any of your questions and assisting you on your journey.

Therapist

Virtual • Chicago, IL


Hello and thank you for taking the time to reach out! Do you ever have those days when things are especially difficult?? When "Life is Lifing" as we say?? Many of the people that I meet and work with are looking for support with mental health, substance abuse, and/or management of traumatic events. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker as well as a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I'm also a Mom of three and a dog Mom of two who likes to practice what I preach in my own life. As a strong believer in the mental/physical health connection, a lot of my focus is incorporating integrated health into our treatment approach. I also support an intimate hospice team in my area so I am comfortable having uncomfortable conversations about life. If you are interesting in giving therapy a shot, or just learning a bit more about my approach, feel free to reach out and we'll see where it takes us.

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 Illinois

Finding the right therapist in Illinois starts with getting clear on what you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or something else, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your specific concerns can make a meaningful difference. Illinois therapists on Headway hold credentials such as LCSW, LCPC, LMFT, and PsyD, and many are trained in approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed care.

With providers available across the state — in the Chicago metro, suburbs, downstate communities, and through virtual sessions — you can prioritize what matters most to you, whether that's a provider near your neighborhood, a specific therapy style, or evening and weekend availability. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match.

Therapy in Illinois can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per session depending on their coverage. Every provider listed on Headway is accepting new patients, so you can move from searching to booking in minutes.
