Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I have 10 years experience working in inpatient and outpatient mental health treatment centers, and I hold masters degrees in Social Service Administration and Public Policy with a concentration in Healthcare Administration. I dedicated my early career to mental health research and advocacy. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Illinois, I have worked with clients from diverse backgrounds to address anxiety, depression, substance abuse, family and relationship conflicts, career stress, and low self-esteem.
I always start with genuine empathy to create a safe, nonjudgemental space. I want my clients to feel comfortable being vulnerable and sharing their concerns. My eclectic treatment interventions pull primarily from behavioral, cognitive and motivational interviewing perspectives. I work together with my clients to find a strategy that specifically addresses their needs. Through developing coping skills, such as social functioning tools, healthy boundaries and positive self-talk, I want to help empower my clients to improve their quality of life.

Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person treatment for many individuals.
One major benefit is flexibility – you can meet with a therapist in whatever format suits you best, whether that is video sessions, phone calls, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
All therapists are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. Online therapy can be a convenient, evidence-informed way to access support for everyday mental health needs.
