When we experience difficult times in our lives, it is not uncommon for us to feel like our lives are unraveling. My passion is bringing a helping hand to individuals during this time who experience depression, anxiety, trauma, & relationship problems. Each of us thrive to reach our highest potential, but we all face barriers that can limit us from achieving this. Together we will overcome those barriers and help you create a meaningful and fulfilling life.
I received my M.S. in Marriage and Family Therapy from Northern Illinois University. I received training in Dr. Sue Johnson's Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, which helps couples move away from negative communication patterns and learn to be emotionally available, empathic and engaged with each other, strengthening the attachment bond between them.
In addition to working with couples, I work with young children, adolescents, individuals and families face-to-face and via telehealth. I am also trained in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I'm excited to work with you and your family towards finding greater serenity, strength, love and respect in your self and your relationships.

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.
