Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Illinois with 7 years of experience working as a therapist and two years as a substance abuse counselor. I am member of a TF-CBT cohort where I have gained extensive training working with clients with trauma. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, addiction, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, couples therapy as well as other mental health disorders. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and dialectical behavioral therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For a range of common concerns – such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or navigating life changes – online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions for most people.
A major benefit is flexibility. Individuals can connect with therapists in whichever format feels most comfortable, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
Each therapist offering online care is a licensed professional, and clients may choose to switch therapists if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. Online therapy can provide a practical, accessible option for people seeking support with everyday mental health concerns.
