Why Wisdom for the Journey, LLC?
Partnering with and providing support to men and women seeking balance at home, work, and/or in their faith community is my primary goal. Stepping out to help you uncover and rebuild is the purpose. We focus on understanding you, your story and your worldview to identify the tools needed to overcome current barriers as well as future obstacles to your success.
How long sessions last?
Each session lasts 60 minutes, the first 2 sessions are intake sessions, meaning we focus on history and why you decided now was the time for therapy. The number of sessions needed varies per client.
I offer group and individual LCSW/LCPC supervision sessions. Check out the Supervision page for more information.
Where are sessions held?
We meet at 1101 S. Lake St. Ste 203 Oak Park, IL 60301 for all sessions. The office is located next door to Lake Street Kitchen restaurant, near the corner of Lake St. and Marion St. The link above will take you to Google maps for directions.

Do you accept insurance?
I accept Blue Cross Blue Shield Illinois PPO and HealthLink for individual therapy sessions. Individual and group coaching services are not covered by insurance. For Clients without insurance, I am a member of the Open Path Collective.
Here are 3 things to keep in mind when using health insurance for my services:
- My goal is to help you change your circumstances by addressing issues of the heart and improving your quality of life. Typically, clients seeking this type of service do not require a mental health diagnosis and insurance companies may not cover the treatment.
- Personal health information, including treatment plan and diagnosis, is required to submit insurance claims. This information limits confidentiality.
- If I am required to provide a diagnosis to the insurance company, this information will follow you to your next insurance company and so on.
Do you accept credit cards?
We accept all major credit cards, checks, and cash payments. You may pay in person or online through the patient portal.
Where do I park?
Downtown Oak Park offers metered street parking, parking lots, and parking garages. The Holley Court garage, located at 1125 Ontario Avenue, is closest to my office.
