Online Existential Psychotherapy in California and Illinois
Welcome, I'm Glad You're Here!
Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, navigating a challenging life transition, or seeking greater self-understanding and personal growth, therapy can help you gain insight into your experiences and find meaningful ways to move forward.
I'm a licensed clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience, offering online therapy for adults throughout California and Illinois.
My approach is existential, relational, and insight-oriented. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, I consider the broader context of your life, including your relationships, formative experiences, and longstanding emotional patterns. Our work is collaborative and thoughtful, with room for both compassion and honest reflection as we examine what may be keeping you stuck and consider possibilities for change.

There Are Many Reasons to Seek Therapy
Therapy isn't only for moments of crisis. Some people seek support when life feels overwhelming, emotions become difficult to manage, or everyday responsibilities feel increasingly challenging. Others are navigating complicated relationships, significant life changes, or difficult decisions. And some find themselves wondering why, despite doing everything they thought would bring happiness or fulfillment, something still feels missing.
There is no single experience that defines who therapy is for, and you don't have to reach a breaking point to consider it. Sometimes the desire for stronger relationships, a greater sense of purpose, or a more meaningful and fulfilling life is reason enough.
