Providing Virtual Therapy for Individuals, Teens & Couples Across the Entire State of Illinois
Hi, I am so glad you’re here!
If you’ve landed here, that must mean you’re carrying something heavy with you. Have you ever caught yourself thinking, "I know why I react this way... I just can't seem to change it"? Trauma often lives beyond our thoughts. It can show up in our body and daily lives as constant anxiety, emotional shutdown, chronic stress, relationship struggles, or feeling like you're constantly in survival mode. Whether you're feeling anxious, stuck, emotionally exhausted, or trying to make sense of painful experiences, reaching out for support is a meaningful first step.
Therapy That Fits Your Life — Anywhere in Illinois
Taking that first step toward healing shouldn't require fighting local traffic, rushing out of work or school, or sitting anxiously in a public waiting room. As an online therapist, I provide high-quality virtual therapy to clients throughout the entire state of Illinois—whether you’re living in a busy Chicago neighborhood, a quiet community in Central or Southern Illinois, or right here near our physical office in Savoy and Champaign-Urbana.If you’ve never tried virtual therapy before, it’s completely normal to wonder if a screen will feel distant. Let me reassure you: virtual therapy with me is deeply human, warm, and genuine. My clients often find that sitting in their own safe haven—whether that’s a cozy couch with a favorite cup of tea, a comfortable desk, or a quiet private space—helps them feel more grounded and open up far faster than sitting in a traditional office. You get the exact same high-level clinical care and deep human connection, with complete privacy and zero commute time.
How We Work Together: Compassion, Curiosity & Real Tools
My trauma-focused clinical experience allows me to meet each person with compassion and curiosity while helping you understand your patterns, develop practical tools, and create meaningful change. I love working alongside clients to help them overcome their challenges and give them the tools they need to succeed. I especially enjoy working with Adults Experiencing OCD & Anxiety, Navigating intrusive thoughts, perfectionism, panic, or constant worry.
Individuals Healing from Trauma: Processing painful past experiences, chronic stress, or emotional shutdown.
Teens & Young Adults: Navigating identity, academic or life transitions, and self-worth.
Couples: Navigating relationship concerns, rebuilding trust, and unlearning exhausting communication patterns.
"Therapy isn’t about changing who you are—it’s about helping you feel more like yourself again."
