Tangled Craft Counseling will soon be paneled with BCBS, Cigna, and Aetna PPO plans

Short-term pay-what-you-can services are available as this time, and slide scale services will be offered in the future.

At this time, one on one services are held via secure telehealth. This allows for flexibility and accessibility while maintaining consistent, high-quality care. Professional consultations or workshops for groups may be arranged for in person services in the Chicagoland area.

Services are Available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays throughout the day (including evenings) and daytime hours are available on Thursdays and Fridays.

A limited number of single-session, pay-what-you-can appointments are available for individuals who identify both as:

1. A person with a disability

2. Someone with ongoing caregiving responsibilities, either professionally or personally

Disability can mean many things. You may identify as disabled if you:

• Live with a diagnosed mental health condition

• Are neurodivergent, including ADHD, autism, or learning differences

• Manage a chronic illness, chronic pain, or autoimmune condition

• Experience mobility limitations or physical health conditions

• Navigate long-term impacts of trauma

• Function in ways that require ongoing adaptation in systems that were not built for you

You do not need to receive government benefits, formal accommodations, or a specific diagnosis to consider yourself disabled. Many people come to this understanding through lived experience rather than paperwork.

Caregiving responsibilities may include:

• Working in a helping profession such as therapy, healthcare, education, social services, hospitality work, sex work, or activism.

• Providing unpaid care to a family member, partner, or dependent

• Carrying sustained emotional or logistical responsibility for others’ well-being

These sessions are intended for people who are managing both their own care needs and the weight of supporting others, particularly when financial or systemic barriers make ongoing therapy difficult to access.

If you are unsure whether this applies to you, you are welcome to reach out. No documentation is required. We can determine together whether this offering feels aligned.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a Board Certified Art Therapist who has worked in both community mental health and private practice since 2018. My experience includes supporting adults through a wide range of concerns, from navigating life transitions and relational stress to managing chronic and complex mental health conditions.

I bring both professional training and lived experience as a person with a mental health disability, which informs my work with both empathy and practical understanding.

Over time, I have intentionally specialized in supporting adults navigating anxiety, trauma, neurodiversity, gender identity, and burnout, particularly among helping professionals. My approach is trauma-informed, affirming, and grounded in real-life application.

The first step is to reach out through the contact form on this website or via email. From there, we will schedule a brief consultation call to determine fit and answer any questions.

If we decide to move forward, we will schedule your first session and complete intake paperwork through a secure client portal.
