As a licensed therapist in Illinois, I bring over a decade of experience supporting individuals through life's complex emotional landscapes. My practice specializes in helping clients navigate challenging transitions, including divorce, relationship dynamics, and significant life changes. I have deep expertise in supporting young adults, caregivers, and families experiencing mood disorders, pregnancy-related emotional challenges, and relationship complexities.
My therapeutic approach is compassionate and holistic, focusing on understanding each client's unique journey. I have extensive experience working with diverse family structures, including blended families, adoptive families, and those navigating neurodevelopmental differences. My goal is to provide a supportive, empathetic environment where individuals can explore their emotions, develop resilient coping strategies, and cultivate meaningful personal growth.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
