As a licensed therapist in Illinois, I bring 17 years of dedicated experience supporting individuals through complex life challenges. My practice centers on creating compassionate, culturally responsive spaces for healing across diverse populations. I specialize in addressing depression, relationship dynamics, trauma recovery, and self-esteem development.
My therapeutic approach embraces a holistic perspective, focusing on issues ranging from social anxiety and isolation to workplace stress, interpersonal challenges, and life transitions. I am particularly committed to supporting women, young adults, and individuals navigating multicultural experiences and systemic challenges.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I offer a warm, empathetic approach that honors each client's unique journey. Whether you're struggling with communication barriers, processing traumatic experiences, or seeking personal growth, I aim to provide supportive guidance that empowers you to develop resilience and meaningful strategies for well-being.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
