- LCSW
As a licensed therapist in Illinois, I bring over a decade of dedicated experience supporting individuals through complex life challenges. My clinical expertise centers on helping clients navigate depression, addiction, trauma, eating disorders, and significant life transitions.
I specialize in addressing a wide range of mental health concerns, including social anxiety, panic disorders, mood disorders, and workplace-related challenges. My approach is particularly attuned to supporting young adults, individuals experiencing chronic health conditions, and those processing difficult life events like divorce, postpartum depression, and recovery from domestic violence.
My therapeutic practice is compassionate and collaborative, designed to help clients develop resilient coping strategies and meaningful personal growth. I believe in creating a supportive environment where individuals can explore their experiences, build emotional strength, and discover pathways toward healing and empowerment.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
