- LCSW
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Illinois, I help individuals make sense of overwhelming emotions and life changes. I support clients working through anxiety, depression, trauma, and major transitions, with particular experience addressing social anxiety, self-esteem challenges, and interpersonal relationship patterns.
My therapeutic practice centers on empowering clients to develop deeper self-understanding, strengthen communication skills, and build resilience. Whether you’re experiencing panic attacks, feeling stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, or working to heal from past experiences, therapy is a space where we can slow down, explore what’s coming up, and create meaningful change together.
I take a collaborative, client-centered approach that honors each person’s unique journey. Together, we focus on building effective coping strategies, improving emotional awareness, and fostering healthier, more fulfilling connections—so you can move toward a life that feels more grounded, confident, and balanced.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.

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.
