Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am an Illinois licensed clinical social worker with over 12 years of experience helping individuals coping with grief and loss, trauma, relationship issues, family conflicts, improving motivation, self-esteem and confidence, and addictions. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am pleased you chose to place your trust in us.
I take a person-centered approach when working with my clients. This means that our work is collaborative and based on your goals for the specific areas you’d like to focus on. I collaborate with clients to explore their entire person: your physical and mental health, your core beliefs and history, your living and working environments, and what gives your life meaning and purpose. I endeavor to meet my clients where they are. I do not view my clients as “having problems” or worse, “being a problem”. Rather, we are just human beings having human experiences – and, because humans are social beings, we often need to turn to others for help.
Healing is a process of discovery and change. The support and guidance of a therapist can help bring out the best in you. Together we embark on a path of exploration and discovery. We identify your strengths, and confront and learn to cope with challenges. Your best self emerges, and you’ll discover that creating and maintaining meaningful relationships, and enhancing your enjoyment of life is not only possible, it is an adventure.

Many people wonder whether online therapy truly helps. For common concerns – such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or navigating life changes – online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One of the main advantages is flexibility – individuals can connect with a therapist in the format that feels most comfortable, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility often makes it easier to fit therapy into daily routines.
All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and clients may choose to switch therapists at any time if they want a different fit. For many people, online therapy provides an accessible and effective option for addressing everyday mental health and relationship concerns.
