I come to therapy with a background in education and theater, which has deeply shaped how I connect with people and understand the human experience. My work is rooted in helping individuals better define who they are, where they want to be, and what may be standing in the way of getting there.
I believe therapy is a collaborative process built on curiosity, honesty, and growth. Together, we’ll identify obstacles, explore patterns, and engage with challenges in a meaningful way until we find solutions that truly work for you. My goal is to provide a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
As a board-certified PMHNP, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step!

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.
