- 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, 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.
