If slowing down were the fix, you'd have done it already. You're excellent at solving problems. The reason this one hasn't budged is that it isn't a scheduling problem, it's a patterns problem, and those are hard to see from inside your own life. That's the part I help with.

No. Some of the women I work with are the most capable people in every room they walk into. You don't have to be falling apart to deserve support, and "I'm handling it" and "I'm okay" are not the same sentence.

A free 30-minute call to see if we're a fit. You tell me what's going on, I give you my honest read on what I'm seeing, and there's no pressure to book anything. If it feels right, we'll set up your first three sessions from there.

essions are $325 for 50 minutes. Many of the women I work with find they want a little more room, especially early on when we're still getting to know each other, or during stretches when things feel particularly heavy. If that's you, we can go to 75 or 90 minutes, prorated at the same rate. We'll figure out together what actually fits.
I'm a private-pay practice, which means I don't take insurance. The upside is that our work is guided by what's actually useful to you, not by what a claims department will authorize or how many sessions a plan decides you're allowed. If you'd like to seek out-of-network reimbursement, I can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurer (this does involve a formal diagnosis, and I'm glad to walk you through what that means for you).

Yes. I'm a licensed clinical psychologist based in Chicago, and my practice is fully virtual across Illinois and all 40+ PSYPACT-participating states.

I work psychodynamically, which means we look beneath the symptoms to the patterns and beliefs driving them. I also do dream work. As someone who's always struggled through small talk, going deep is my zen place. If you've only ever done the practical, homework-and-worksheets kind of therapy, this is a different, deeper experience.
