About Resilient Souls counseling service

Resilient Souls Counseling Services was created to offer a calm, supportive space for individuals and families seeking thoughtful mental health care. I believe therapy works best when it feels respectful, collaborative, and grounded in genuine understanding. My approach is shaped by experience supporting people through stress, emotional challenges, and difficult life situations, with a focus on listening carefully and working together in a steady, meaningful way.

As a telehealth-only practice serving Illinois residents, I aim to make therapy accessible while maintaining a personal connection. Sessions are guided by care, professionalism, and a strong commitment to ethical, confidential support that fits into your life.
