About Me

Seeking a path to deeper well-being? With 25 years of clinical experience, I offer online Counseling to individuals across Illinois. My holistic approach helps you explore the intricate connections between your mind, body, and life experiences. We work together to integrate these elements, fostering a sense of lasting health and balance. This collaborative support is ideal for those ready to understand themselves more deeply, fostering comprehensive well-being.

Approach

To deepen self-understanding and steady daily life, my work blends inquiry with clear, manageable steps tailored to your rhythm. I offer online sessions to adults across Illinois in English, creating a private, structured space where pacing is negotiated and progress is tracked between meetings. Sessions often start with focused assessment and move into short, skill-based experiments and reflective exploration—addressing mood, grief, addiction patterns, or spiritual questions while honoring chronic illness limits. This approach suits those seeking practical tools paired with deeper self-awareness.
