I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois. Since I acquired my license I have worked with a variety of people, those with mental illness, developmental disabilities, and substance use. I previously worked for the court system, for non-profit substance abuse agencies, and in private practice. My experience has helped me realize that individuals are not an illness or a label but rather persons with extenuating circumstances that contribute for their reasons for seeking help.
I have experience working with persons suffering from anxiety, depression substance use, relationship issues divorce, family conflict, grief and gender dysphoria. Additionally, I have worked with client involving self-confidence/self-esteem, coping skills and every day issues. My hope is to help people improve their relationships, find their authentic self and/or at least not feel alone.
Because each individual has a different reason for seeking help, I use an eclectic approach to counseling involving Narrative therapy, Client Centered Therapy, Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral therapy, and solution Focused Therapy. whether it be individual counseling or couples counseling my goal is to help you find inner peace.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
