Real Therapy is Here.

The time has come!

I am so proud to announce the opening of Real Therapy, LLC., an independent private therapy practice serving Illinois clients completely virtually from the comfort of their own home. I created this practice after 10 years in the nonprofit field in Chicago. While my heart and soul will always be dedicated to public service, I have a new vision for how I can contribute to my community. Serving others and caring for myself do not have to be mutually exclusive. In fact, living life on my own terms allows me to be more creative, engaged, and available for my clients.

My goal is to create a space where people can live authentically.

We constantly adapt our behavior according the social and cultural norms of each space we occupy. It can feel exhausting. In my therapy room, you can see how it feels to let go of those restrictions. We can explore who you are and collaborate on what you need at this moment in time.

All people are welcome in my therapy practice.

I’ve worked with people from all ages and walks of life. I’m especially passionate about supporting people from marginalized identities. I specialize in working with women, teens, people exploring their gender & sexual identities, and survivors of trauma.

I also acknowledge that under-resourced and under-represented people do not always have the access to self-pay for therapy sessions. For now, I’m reserving a few sliding scale and pro-bono spots for folks with financial barriers. I will expand my free/low-cost services once Real Therapy grows.

Spread the word.

Look through my website, follow me on instagram (@realtherapyco), tell your friends in Illinois I’m here. I appreciate you & hope to hear from you soon.

Cheers!
