As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Chicago, Illinois, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients explore self-love, personal growth, and meaningful connection. I have deep expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and LGBTQ+ experiences.
My approach is compassionate and collaborative, focusing on understanding each person's unique journey. I'm particularly passionate about supporting individuals working through communication challenges, isolation, life transitions, and personal identity exploration. Whether you're struggling with self-esteem, family dynamics, or seeking greater purpose, I aim to create a supportive, affirming therapeutic space.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I work alongside clients to develop personalized strategies for healing and empowerment. My goal is to help you build resilience, cultivate self-compassion, and move towards the life you envision for yourself.

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.
