As a licensed therapist in Illinois, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients work through depression, anxiety, self-esteem challenges, and career transitions. I bring a compassionate, culturally responsive approach to addressing feelings of isolation, emptiness, and interpersonal dynamics.
My therapeutic style emphasizes understanding individual experiences and building meaningful strategies for personal growth. I'm committed to creating a supportive environment where clients can explore their inner world, develop resilience, and cultivate self-compassion.

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.
