Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the state of Illinois as well as a Certified Domestic Violence Professional. I have over 15 years of experience in social services/mental health settings working with a variety of individuals, children, families and couples from various backgrounds. I have worked extensively with domestic violence, sexual assault, mental health, child welfare/foster care, alternative schooling, trauma/abuse, and family issues. I work with my clients to ensure that they feel comfortable to share in a safe and open environment. The key to a healthy therapeutic relationship is meeting the client where they are and then growing from there.

Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and managing life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions for most people.
One major benefit is flexibility – clients can choose the format that feels most comfortable, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and maintain regular contact with a therapist.
Licensed professionals deliver online therapy, and clients have the option to switch therapists at any time if they feel a different fit would be better. For many, remote sessions offer an accessible and effective way to address everyday mental health and relationship concerns.
