Psychologist

Virtual • Illinois


All of us are striving to be true to ourselves and our loved ones around us. Feeling authentic and true to who we are can assist us in living life the way we would like to. You could be experiencing mood-related difficulties as a reaction to grief, trauma, depression, substance use, identity issues, cross-cultural issues, and relational difficulties, which I specialize in working with. Through my own lived experiences, I have a keen interest in working with immigrants, first-generation immigrants, and fellow therapists.


Initiating therapy is often the hardest first step. I strive to create an encouraging, safe, and respectful space in therapy for your feelings, experiences, and life goals. Give me a call today for a free 15-20 minute phone consultation to learn more about one another, and to discuss a plan.

Therapist

Your hands are full right now: the anxiety that hums under everything, the stress of juggling relationships, career, and the self-care that keeps slipping to the bottom of your list. Maybe a transition has left you questioning who you are, or you're grieving the loss of someone you love, a relationship, or a future you'd imagined. Wherever you are, you don't have to carry it alone. I work with individuals through these moments, with a particular focus on women's mental health and wellness.

As a licensed clinical social worker, I've spent my career working alongside people

who've often felt unseen, underserved, or unsupported by the systems meant to help

them. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults in marginalized communities

navigating identity, mental health, relationships, and trauma. My approach is

grounded in genuine curiosity about who you are, not just what brings you in. You'll

find a space built on empathy and empowerment, where you can show up exactly as

you are. I'd love to connect.
