As a licensed therapist in Illinois, I specialize in supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My approach centers on compassionate, holistic care that addresses mental health across diverse experiences. I have extensive expertise in helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, stress, and self-esteem challenges.
My therapeutic work focuses on empowering individuals to develop deeper self-understanding and resilience. I'm particularly passionate about supporting young adults, women, caregivers, and those experiencing life transitions. My practice creates a nurturing space where clients can explore personal growth, heal from past experiences, and develop meaningful coping strategies.
I draw from evidence-based practices to help clients address a wide range of concerns, including communication difficulties, isolation, life purpose exploration, workplace stress, and family dynamics. My goal is to walk alongside you, offering supportive guidance as you move toward greater emotional wellness and personal empowerment.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
