Do you take insurance?
We are in network with:
We offer direct billing for therapy services because therapy shouldn’t be a financial stretch.
How much does a session cost?
We also offer private pay at a rate of $185 per session.
Not in network with your insurance?
Ask about a superbill for reimbursement from your insurance for out of network benefits. Many insurances have out-of-network-benefits!

All sessions are virtual, for clients anywhere in Illinois.
We use a secure, HIPAA-compliant portal for telehealth therapy. You can join from home, a parked car, or anywhere that feels private and comfortable.
Because of licensing, we are only able to see clients who are physically located in Illinois at the time of their session.
How long is a therapy session?
Individual Sessions are 50-55 minutes in length unless otherwise specified.
Is therapy forever?
Therapy isn't about someone handing you the answers - it's about gently finding the tools to help you navigate everyday life.
Everyone's path through this work is different! Our hope is simply to be here for you, for as long as that feels right. For some, this means finding value in a longer-term relationship.
We also love that some of our clients come and go over time- stepping away when things feel steady, then reaching back out when anxiety creeps back in or life throws something new their way. That's not just okay, it's welcome.
And truly, whenever you think of us- whether you're ready to pick things back up or just want to share how you've been via email- we'd love to hear from you. It doesn't matter how much time has passed. You're always welcome back here.
What is your therapeutic approach?
We believe healing happens in relationships- with ourselves and with others.
We take a relational, trauma-informed approach to therapy, meaning we pay close attention to how past experiences and current stress shows up in emotions, relationships, and patterns of thinking and coping.
We value humor, humility, creativity, and genuine connection in the therapy space. We believe therapy can hold both depth and moments of lightness, and we strive to create an environment that feels gentle, collaborative, and rooted in authenticity and care.
In sessions, clients can expect a balance of steady support and gentle, honest guidance. Our goal is to create a space where you can slow down and move toward meaningful, nourishing change.
Parts work
We integrate parts work (informed by Internal Family Systems) to help clients understand the different “parts” of themselves that may show up under stress—such as the inner critic, the anxious part, the protector, or the part that shuts down when things feel overwhelming. Rather than trying to eliminate these parts, we focus on understanding them with curiosity and compassion. We hope to provide an environment for you to heal emotionally while also honoring the parts of you that have gotten you to where you are today.
EMDR
When appropriate, we also use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an evidence-based approach that helps process experiences that feel stuck, overwhelming, or difficult to move through.
Nervous system regulation
A core focus of our work is nervous system regulation. We help clients notice how their body responds to stress, understand their patterns, and build tools to feel more grounded, safe, and steady over time.
We take an individualized approach, tailoring care to the unique needs and goals of each client.
At the heart of our work is the belief that therapy is not only about reducing symptoms, but about helping people understand themselves more deeply and build a life that feels more connected and aligned to their values.
This work is a gift- instilling hope & witnessing the magic of others building a beautiful life. We would be honored to walk alongside you.
Do you offer EMDR?
Yes! We offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy as one of the approaches we may incorporate into treatment.
EMDR is a trauma-focused therapy that helps the brain process difficult or distressing experiences that may still feel “stuck.” When we experience something overwhelming, the memory can sometimes remain stored in a way that continues to trigger intense emotions, physical sensations, or beliefs about ourselves. EMDR helps support the brain in reprocessing these experiences so they can feel less emotionally overwhelming and more like memories of the past.
EMDR can be helpful for trauma and PTSD, but it isn't limited to one specific type of experience. It may also be used when anxiety, panic, relationship difficulties, self-esteem struggles, grief, or other concerns are connected to past experiences.
We don't use EMDR with every client or for every concern. We will first talk about your goals, history, and what you're experiencing to determine whether EMDR is a good fit. You will always be an active part of deciding what approach we use in therapy. EMDR can be integrated with other approaches, depending on your individual needs.
