I am a licensed clinical professional counselor with over 28 years of experience guiding individuals and families through their unique journeys toward emotional well-being. I received my Master’s of Science in Psychology from Western Illinois University in 1994 and have worked within a variety of settings with people of all ages addressing complex mental health issues.

Throughout my career, I have supported clients facing a wide range of challenges, and I am committed to creating a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space for healing and growth.

As a grandparent to three wonderful grandchildren, I appreciate the richness and complexity of family life at every stage. In my free time, I love to travel, explore new places, and immerse myself in different cultures. A lifelong reader, I find joy and insight in literature, and I often bring the wisdom of stories into my therapeutic practice. My passions for creativity, travel, and family help me understand the variety of experiences my clients bring, and I strive to honor each person’s individuality in my practice.

Whether you are seeking support for yourself or a loved one, I look forward to meeting you and walking alongside you on your path to greater well-being.

Find the right couples therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Chicago, IL

Searching for couples therapists in Chicago starts with naming what you and your partner want support with. Couples therapy may focus on communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life transitions, or parenting disagreements. If you’re comparing options for Chicago couples counseling, relationship counseling in Chicago, or marriage counseling Chicago, look for a therapist with training that matches your needs. Some therapists are licensed marriage and family therapists, while others list specific couples approaches such as the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy in their bios.

In a large city like Chicago, having many options can make the search harder to narrow. Location may matter if you want in-person sessions near the Loop, Lakeview, Hyde Park, or another neighborhood that fits your commute. Virtual appointments can also make it easier to find a time that works for both partners. As you compare therapists, check availability, session structure, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading each profile can help you understand how the therapist works with couples and whether their style fits what both partners are looking for.

Couples therapy in Chicago can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated cost before booking. Headway helps you find therapists who offer in-network couples therapy, are accepting new patients, and match your preferences for format, schedule, and approach. You can browse profiles, review insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
