Find Telehealth Therapists Licensed in Illinois

My approach centers around ability to get and maintain a clear sense of self while you are in close proximity to a those who matter to you (whether you like them or not). The higher your level of differentiation, the closer you can get to others, because you're not afraid of losing yourself. It gives you a solid but flexible self, which allows you to make a decision to be influenced and to change (as opposed to having to change to stay on good terms with others). At high levels of differentiation, what others want in their life becomes as important to you as what you want.

As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will examine long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges and find paths toward healing and growth. My approach is rooted in understanding, empathy, and a genuine desire to help others make meaningful changes in their lives. I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where I received comprehensive training in mental health and clinical social work. Since becoming a licensed clinical social worker, I’ve continued to refine my skills and stay current with new therapeutic approaches and techniques. Throughout my career, I’ve worked in a variety of settings, including hospitals, community mental health centers, private practice, and nonprofit organizations. This diverse experience has allowed me to work with people from many different walks of life, each with their own unique challenges, hopes, and dreams.

I think counseling should be collaborative where we both use our experiences and knowledge to problem solve your issues that are bothering you. I am here to empower you, help you realize your potential and achieve your goals using empathy, practicality, confidence, humor, relatability, real life experiences, energy, and honesty. I have worked with people from all walks of life, so as long as you breath air, we are good to go. If there is something I don't know I will work to learn it. If there is something you need, I will try to accommodate you (like helping with looking for jobs or making more jokes). I am comfortable and competent with addressing a wide array of issues. When working with me goals are made as a partnership; where you pick what you want to work on, and I help you achieve it. During the first session, I will work to build your trust and earn your respect. I will listen and work to understand your problems and how they are impacting you. I will give you my perspective on what ive heard, and we can do a little processing. I will provide some tools you can use to start addressing your problems. Sadly there will be some paperwork that needs to be done. After this I will ask if you feel we are a good fit and if you want to continue working with me. Let’s work together to achieve your goals, and get you back on track

My approach to counseling is a collaborative journey in discovering and exploring what hinders my clients from fully functioning, reducing the stress, anxiety, and negative symptoms that prompted them to look for help. Given a safe and supportive environment, clients can gain awareness and insight to make sense out of our life experiences. Making a decision to find help...and then being heard can be a huge relief, and is the gift of therapy. I provide distance (video) counseling! Whether you reside or work in Illinois or Florida, distance counseling is an effective and easy way to approach counseling without having to go to the counselor's office. If you are new to counseling, feel free to reach out to ask questions; if you are familiar with counseling - you know it can be a great experience.
