I’m in Chicago! I offer tele-health sessions for adults throughout Illinois and other participating PSYPACT states (currently 43 states and counting).

My in-person office is located at:

213 W. Institute Pl
#210
Chicago, IL 60610

Yes. I accept Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) PPO plans. If you have another insurance provider with out-of-network benefits, I can provide a superbill you can submit for potential reimbursement.

PSYPACT is an agreement between many U.S. states that allows licensed psychologists to provide telehealth services across state lines in participating states.

In simple terms, it expands where I’m able to offer virtual therapy, so you do not need to be located in Illinois to work with me for telehealth sessions.

My private pay fee is the same for in-person sessions in Chicago and virtual sessions through PSYPACT-authorized states. If you are using insurance, your out-of-pocket cost depends on your specific plan, deductible, and coverage rather than your location.

Each session is a little less than 55 minutes once per week.

In our first session, we’ll talk about what brings you in, your personal history, and what you’re hoping to get from therapy. It’s a chance for us to begin getting to know each other and for you to ask any questions.

As therapy continues, we will continue to work on the concerns that are bringing you in.

That's a very common question, and the short answer is yes, if you're thinking about therapy, it's okay to be here.

I specifically work with adults who often look successful on the outside but carry an internal weight. You don't need to meet a specific threshold of "seriousness." Therapy can be a tool for gaining clarity, shifting patterns, and building a stronger sense of self before things reach a breaking point. If something is impacting your balance or peace, it's worth exploring.

That’s completely okay and it’s a very common place to start. You don’t need to have the right words or a clear story when you come to therapy. Part of our work together is slowing down, noticing what you’re feeling, and finding language for it at your own pace. Sometimes that begins with describing physical sensations, images, or moments rather than emotions themselves. Over time, the words tend to come more naturally as we build safety, trust, and understanding.

Yes, this practice strives to be a safe and affirming space for clients, including members of the LGBTQIA+ community and those navigating complex identity questions or societal pressures. I understand that feeling truly supported often requires more than non-judgment; it also means being aware of systemic factors and daily micro-stressors that can impact well-being. These small, often invisible pressures (i.e. subtle biases, societal expectations, or past experiences, etc.) can accumulate and affect how you show up in the world, and therapy can be a place to notice and process them.

It's completely normal to feel unsure and many people do. You don't need to have everything figured out to take the first step.

Consider scheduling a free consultation call. It’s a no-pressure chance to ask questions, learn how therapy works, and get a feel for whether it’s a good fit for you. There’s no obligation to continue. Sometimes, the best way to know is simply to try.
