I believe that therapy works best when people feel understood, respected and safe. I have over 20 year of experience helping adults navigate trauma, depression, anxiety, identity exploration, grief/loss, life transitions and relationship challenges. Much of my career has been devoted to working with veterans and individuals who have faced difficult or traumatic experiences. I strongly believe in establishing a relationship of equals and mutual respect between therapist and client; one that leads to a guided journey of self-discovery and change.
With my background in art, bodywork, and spirituality, I am able to work holistically, and to faciliate mind/body/spirit wellness. I enjoy working with clients of all faiths, ethnicities, genders, and sexual preferences. Artists, introverts, and introspective people will find me especially understanding and perceptive.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Frankfort, IL
Searching for therapists in Frankfort starts with knowing what kind of support you want from therapy. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match your needs. A therapist’s profile can also show whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or family therapy.
In a smaller community like Frankfort, the number of nearby in-person therapists may be more limited than in larger parts of the Chicago area. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Illinois. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading bios before booking can help you understand each therapist’s style, focus areas, and what a first session may include.
Therapy in Frankfort can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences and offer in-person or virtual sessions, so you can review profiles, compare availability, check insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
