Psychologist

Virtual & in-person • 17 mi away • Lake Villa, IL


Great to meet you! I've been helping people sleep better since 2002. I'm a Licensed Psychologist (IL) and a Registered Sleep Technologist (RPSGT), specializing in therapy for insomnia and circadian rhythm disorders.

Most of my clients have struggled with chronic or acute insomnia and feel stuck in the cycle — they've tried all the usual tips and tricks, but nothing seems to work. I take a thorough approach because easy fixes rarely solve sleep problems. I start by understanding everything that may be affecting your sleep, then build a plan around you — not a one-size-fits-all formula.

Motherhood changes you—but that doesn't mean you have to lose yourself along the way.

Whether you're preparing to welcome your first baby, adjusting to life with a newborn, juggling the demands of raising children, navigating divorce while parenting, or wondering who you are now that your children need you less, every stage of motherhood brings new challenges. These transitions can leave you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or uncertain about what's next. You don't have to figure it out alone.

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 Crystal Lake

Searching for therapists in Crystal Lake starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may want help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to focus on. Provider bios can also help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.

In a smaller city like Crystal Lake, local in-person options may be more limited than in larger Illinois markets. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Illinois. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist offers a free phone consultation, and how their profile describes their session style. Reading bios before booking can help you compare communication style, focus areas, and what to expect in a first session.

Therapy in Crystal Lake can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see an estimated price before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs and are accepting new patients, so you can review profiles, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready. You can also enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm available coverage and see estimated costs for Crystal Lake.

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