Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
You may be at a point in life where things feel uncertain. Maybe you’re in the middle of a transition, questioning your direction, or carrying a sense that something important is missing. Therapy can be a place to sort through those questions with support and honesty.
I am licensed in Illinois with 18 years of professional experience. My work is grounded in existential–humanistic therapy, an approach that emphasizes presence, personal responsibility, and the capacity we all have to create meaning in our lives. Many of the people I work with are facing life transitions, wrestling with questions of identity or purpose, or feeling unsure about how to move forward when familiar ways of coping no longer seem to fit.
In our sessions, we slow down enough to look at what is happening in your life right now, your relationships, your choices, and your sense of direction. My treatment approach is about creating a space where you can reflect, be honest with yourself, and challenge what matters most. My role is to listen deeply, ask thoughtful questions, and help you clarify the values and possibilities that can guide your next steps.
Clients often begin to see options where before they felt stuck, leaving with a stronger sense of confidence and freedom in making decisions. Over time, this can help you feel more connected to others, and more aligned with the life you want to live.

Many people wonder whether online therapy can make a meaningful difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One of the main advantages of online therapy is flexibility. Individuals can connect in the way that suits them best – through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
All therapists involved are licensed professionals, and if someone decides they need a different fit they may switch therapists at any time. Online therapy offers a practical, accessible option for receiving professional mental health support without sacrificing the quality of care.
