As a licensed therapist in Illinois, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My professional approach centers on helping clients work through depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and challenges with self-esteem. I understand that emotional healing is a deeply personal journey, and I'm committed to creating a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences.
My therapeutic work focuses on addressing communication difficulties, feelings of isolation, guilt, shame, and struggles with personal control. I believe in empowering clients to develop healthier emotional patterns and build resilience. Through collaborative, evidence-based techniques, I support individuals in understanding their inner experiences and developing meaningful strategies for personal growth.
Every person's path to healing is unique, and I'm dedicated to walking alongside you with empathy, respect, and professional expertise. Together, we can work towards understanding your challenges and creating positive, sustainable changes in your life.

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.
