Anxiety Therapist for Women in Chicago
You don't have to hold it all together anymore.
On the outside, everything looks fine…but inside, it's overwhelming. You're overthinking, striving, and quietly burning out, trying to keep everyone else happy at your own expense. If this sounds like you, you're exactly where you need to be.
A calmer life starts with the right conversation.
Therapy for women seeking peace and clarity
I’ve discovered that anxiety doesn’t always look loud. Sometimes it looks like achievement, people-pleasing, or being the one everyone depends on.
My personal approach is warm, real, and deeply human. I won’t talk at you or offer generic fixes. I’ll listen to what you’re saying and what you’re not. I’ll gently challenge the patterns that keep you stuck, and I’ll help you create space for the version of you that feels more honest, more grounded, and more at peace.
Hi, I'm Stacy and I'm so glad you're here.
For nearly three decades, I’ve sat with women just like you, who look like they have it all together, but feel like they’re falling apart on the inside.

What if anxiety didn't always have to catch you off guard?
A calmer life starts with the right conversation.
This isn’t a “cookie-cutter approach” kind of therapy. We’ll always start with where you are, what’s going on in your world, what’s feeling heavy, and what would actually help you feel better. Every session is shaped around what you need, not just what worked for someone else.
Growth-minded therapy that meets you exactly where you are.

You're here for a reason, so let's talk.
You've lived a lot of life …and all of it has shaped the person you are today.
In therapy, we’ll make sense of your story together. We’ll hold space for what’s been hard, notice the wisdom you’ve picked up along the way, and start loosening the grip of the things that no longer serve you.
Your story matters, and that’s exactly where we’ll begin.
