Hello! Im glad you’re here! As a Certified Trauma Treatment Professional and a licensed therapist in both Florida and Illinois, I look forward to helping you
navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, stress, grief, and major life transitions. With over 20 years of experience, I am trained in ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) trained clinician, and hold the MCAP (Master’s Level Certified Addiction Professional) credential.
My style is warm, steady, and non-judgmental. I want therapy to feel like a safe place where you can be honest without fear of criticism or pressure. You don’t need to have everything figured out — you just need a space to breathe and someone who understands what it feels like to carry too much for too long.
I use a trauma-informed, individualized approach that often includes CBT, solution-focused strategies, and mind-body techniques. With ART, I can help you process distressing memories and emotional triggers in a gentle, accelerated way that many clients find effective when they’ve felt stuck for years.
know reaching out for support can feel intimidating, especially if you’re used to being the strong one. You deserve support, too. I’ll meet you with respect, compassion, and practical tools to help you feel more grounded and in control. Together, we’ll work toward healing and toward the life you want to build — at a pace that feels right for you.
Whenever you’re ready, I’m here. I look forward to working with you.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
