Office update: my Hyde Park office closes on October 31, 2026. From November 1, I see clients in person in downtown Chicago, at 401 N. Michigan Ave., Suite 1225 (Streeterville) and 125 S. Wacker Dr. (the Loop), and online throughout Illinois.
Living in Hyde Park often means being surrounded by curiosity, conversation and reflection. Especially in your relationships.
But even in thoughtful, intentional partnerships, relationships can sometimes begin to feel strained or distant.
You may still deeply care for each other. You may still share values, goals, and a life together.
Yet something about the connection has shifted.
Maybe conversations turn into debates instead of understanding. Maybe emotional closeness feels harder to access than it once did. Or maybe the pressures of work, family expectations, and daily responsibilities have slowly created distance between you.
Couples therapy in Hyde Park offers a space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with the deeper patterns shaping your relationship.
Many couples who begin therapy in Hyde Park are not facing a dramatic crisis. Instead, they’re noticing subtle shifts in their relationship.
These moments are more common than many couples realize. Relationships evolve over time, and the patterns we bring into them, often shaped by family, culture, and past experiences, can quietly influence how we communicate, handle conflict, and express care.
Therapy with me will create a space for you so we can explore these patterns together.
Hyde Park is a community filled with thoughtful individuals, professionals, researchers, and families who value intellectual curiosity and personal growth. But the very qualities that make this neighborhood vibrant can also create unique pressures for relationships.
When both partners are deeply engaged in their personal and professional lives, it can sometimes become difficult to nurture the relationship with the same attention. Over time, couples may find themselves feeling more like collaborators in life than emotionally connected partners. Couples therapy provides a space to pause, reflect, and rediscover the connection that originally brought you together.
I offer in-person couples therapy sessions at my Michigan Avenue office at 401 N Michigan Ave, Suite 1225, a direct Metra Electric ride from Hyde Park and the surrounding South Side neighborhoods.
Many couples come from nearby communities including:
Hyde Park
Kenwood
Woodlawn
South Shore
the University of Chicago area
The Michigan Avenue office offers a calm, private environment where couples can slow down and have meaningful conversations without the distractions of everyday life.
For couples with busy schedules, online therapy sessions are also available throughout Illinois.
Couples therapy is not about assigning blame or deciding who is right or wrong. Instead, therapy helps partners understand the deeper emotional patterns that shape their interactions.
In sessions, couples often work on:
This process can help partners better understand not only what they are experiencing—but why those patterns exist.
With that understanding, meaningful change becomes possible.
If you would like a deeper overview of the process, you can also learn more about couples therapy in Chicago.
Not every partner is ready to attend therapy together. I also work with individuals seeking relationship clarity, whether you’re questioning patterns, navigating conflict, or trying to decide what’s next.You don’t need both partners present to begin meaningful change.
In larger group practices, you may be assigned to different clinicians over time. As a solo Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I offer:
Consistency in care
A deeply personalized therapeutic relationship
A grounded, reflective process
Specialized focus on relational healing
You are not passed between providers or another number on someone else’s agenda. You work with one therapist who understands your story from beginning to end.
Yes, I offer that too. Premarital therapy provides space to explore expectations, communication styles, finances, intimacy, and long-term goals before marriage.
Most couples see meaningful progress within 3-6 months (12-24 sessions). Some concerns resolve faster, others take longer. We’ll check in regularly to assess progress.
Let’s talk for 15 minutes (free). I’ll tell you honestly whether I think I can help with what you’re facing, and if not, I’ll point you toward resources that can.
I offer Individual Relationship Therapy. You come alone, but we work on the relationship. Many clients find that when they shift how they show up, their partner becomes more open to joining later. And if they never join? You’ll still gain valuable insights and tools.
No. Therapy is helpful for dating couples, engaged partners, long-term relationships, and those navigating uncertainty.
Yes! I provide secure online therapy throughout Illinois. Many clients prefer online sessions for convenience and flexibility.
I accept Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, United Healthcare, and other major insurers. Contact me to verify your specific plan coverage.
