Teletherapy for Illinois

Life can be hard. Being a college student can be hard. Life transitions (like starting college) often make it clear that some things just aren’t working. Maybe you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, alone, or depressed . Emotions, worries, or confusion become overwhelming and lead to unhelpful patterns. You've tried everything, but nothing has worked. You wonder if it will ever get better. All you want is peace, stability, and confidence in the direction your life is going. To feel good about yourself and your choices. To feel comfortable in your own skin and to believe in your ability to succeed.

My philosophy of care is grounded in the notion that every person has a gift within themselves. People do not need to be fixed; they need support to be able to return to their core self. I am here to support you whether you are going through a transition, dealing with stress, anxiety, depression , or other mental health challenges. Please consider reaching out if you want to make meaning of your life, use difficulty as an opportunity to grow, and/or you are someone deeply committed to improving society. I am here to provide a place to process, balance, and develop.

*Accepting New Clients* Are you having difficulty relaxing and keeping your anxiety level down? When people come to therapy, they may be fed up with excessive worry, feeling like they can’t get their life together or that their confidence has taken a hit. You may be frustrated with feeling triggered in everyday situations. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to feel better about yourself. You’re ready to learn tools to manage strong emotions. Most of all, you’re ready to break free and create the life you want to live!

Are you lonely and feel like "no one understands me"? Are you trying to navigate school, jobs, relationships, and identity while struggling with anxiety or depression at the same time? I'm a licensed clinical social worker with over 10 years experience, and my priority as a therapist is to help you feel seen and heard through genuine connection. I believe in working together to help you gain insight and highlight your innate abilities to navigate depression , anxiety, life transition, grief and loss, identity issues or any other struggle you may be dealing with.

My ideal client is any human struggling with the present moment, any human suffering.

My way of doing therapy involves insight-oriented exploration and problem solving, and for those who are interested, an invitation to use somatic awareness and mindfulness practices to make deeper contact with core issues and inner healing. If you're curious about doing "parts work" I'm trained in and passionate about holding space using an Internal Family Systems (IFS) lens. While working with me you may find yourself looking at problems in a new way - with more curiosity and self compassion. Less judgement.

You may have experienced significant changes in your life, have endured trauma, and are doing your best to manage both life's demands and what had happened to you. You may find it difficult sometimes as the impact of your changed environments, sense of self, and relationships compete for your emotional attention.

You may have immediate concerns you are looking to resolve but cannot shake the burden of long-standing issues.

I am a humanistic, client centered psychotherapist. I understand that living with symptoms that feel overwhelming can rupture confidence in yourself and in your ability to handle life's challenges. My goal is to help clients repair and deepen this trust in themselves over the course of therapy. No matter how great the challenges, I believe that we are all capable of growth and healing. As your therapist, I will walk beside you in this process. I will help you rediscover and build upon your unique strengths, voice, spark and purpose.

My entire therapeutic practice is based on three words: I believe you. How often in life (both past and present) have individuals struggled with someone believing them? How easy it is to be judged and misunderstood. A lack of being believed, coupled with being both judged and misunderstood are often what create low self-esteem, depression , trauma, fear and anxiety: all of which can affect relationships, friendships, family life, work, school etc. With support, change and healing are realistic possibilities.
