“Life happens” to us all, and when it does isn’t it wise to reach out for help? I strongly believe that reaching out for help is the wisest thing a person can do. Helping people develop coping skills, change unhealthy patterns, and achieve their goals is my passion.
I graduated with my Doctor of Psychology degree in Clinical Psychology from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology. I am a licensed psychologist and I have been in the field for over 20 years. I primarily work with people experiencing anxiety, depression and PTSD. I focus on adults and use humanistic and cognitive-behavioral techniques to help achieve their goals.

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.
