Because counseling can sometimes be a daunting experience, I aim to put my clients at ease from the first moment. Life can be difficult to navigate. We accumulate invisible scars and wounds over time. When the tools and thoughts that we use to cope with life's changes and challenges are out dated, they can leave us feeling depressed, fearful, or overwhelmed. I work collaboratively with my clients to fully understand their issues and to develop treatment strategies that address their concerns in an open, safe, and understanding environment.

With years of clinical experience I have a wide range of expertise which includes working with a very diverse population. I am an interactive solution-focused therapist, whose approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help individuals effectively address personal life challenges, integrating complimentary methodologies and techniques to offer a highly personalized approach. I provide a warm, safe and non-judgmental environment in which you are able to explore life challenges that may be getting in your way of living life to your full potential.

I assist individuals, couples and groups navigate their way through the challenges of being a parent, being in a relationship with a survivor of domestic violence, being part of a blended family, pre-marital counseling, marriage counseling, divorce, crisis, anger management, death of a loved one, the loss of a relationship, finding companionship, sexual harassment, lack of family support, depression, stress, trauma and other difficulties. I also assist consumers with finding their way through the foster care system, child protective service agencies and identifying the rights of a parent/guardian with a child in a school system.

Whether you are seeking therapy for the first time, or have been in therapy many times before, it’s so important to find a therapist that feels like the right fit for you. I want to personally acknowledge the courage, intentionality, and investment you have placed in yourself in deciding to seek support in the form of counseling/therapy. We may struggle with relationships, work, life transitions, caregiving, chronic illness and pain, loss, stress and trauma related symptoms, or other issues. Create space for yourself to engage in a restorative, empowering therapeutic experience and receive the support you deserve.

My ideal client is willing and ready to enter the therapeutic process, to learn about themselves and be brave enough to trust the process and embrace change. Open-minded, hopeful and desiring of better for themselves!

Hello! I am a licensed clinical social worker in New York with over 15 years of clinical experience. I enjoy facilitating individual, couple, family, and group therapy, and my focus is with adults who continue to address chronic mental health symptoms. I work in a partnership with clients where they are the "driver" and I can support the various "routes" in getting to the "destination" - success is defined by the client. I use CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and Solution focused therapy. I believe in a strength based perspective to treatment because the client already knows what doesn't work.

Are you looking for direction on navigating life transitions? I believe you are the expert of your life and therapy is an opportunity where we get to reflect on your life's trajectory, and to recognize how to get to what's next. I am passionate about using my unique skillset to teach, support and provide a space for internal transformation to take place.

Life is full of stressful situations. It can be hard to keep up with everything in our hectic lives. The demands of work, social and personal engagements, family life and responsibilities. Sometimes it's easy to lose track of yourself, your needs and goals.Therapy is an act of self-care and courage that can transform personal challenges into life-enhancing opportunities.

I can help you be you! I specialize in helping teens, young adults and adults be happy. Whether simple things left undone, or trauma like a parents' divorce, we are sent messages that we internalize while growing up. The life path of my personal journey has helped me to listen with empathy, insight and interest. I give people a safe space to share and grow. With the proper clinical relationship, I invite you to welcome emotional and professional health into your life. Through our shared minds, your uniquely human response to life can be found.

I am an artist with a Masters in Art Therapy/Counseling who is currently pursuing a PhD in psychology. I provide services to anyone who is willing to work to improve their mental health and well-being. The aim is to minimize negative thoughts, feelings, and emotions while building a positive outlook on life. Your therapeutic journey moves at your own pace as you are in the driver's seat and I am only here to guide and support you through this journey.

My work with clients is a mutual search for the key problems that have them stuck. It may be problems which began in childhood. Or there may be twists and turns in their teen or adult years that have yielded concerns about themselves, others, or life itself which have become major stumbling blocks. We work together in an interactive, respectful, and individualized process to get to the bottom of it all, resolve the problems, and allow the person to get on with a better life. I look forward to the journey with each person who seeks my help.

I worked at Counseling Associates in Lake Forest Il until 1998

Whether it's to learn coping skills, improve relationships, change your work experience, or adjust to a new reality, I will walk with you in understanding yourself better, achieving your goals, reducing negative patterns, and achieving emotional well being. *** All adults and adolescents are welcome. I have a lot of experience working with attorneys, people in high stress environments, frustrated artists, non-mainstream sexualities, new parents, relationship dynamics, and body oriented concerns.

I see adults from 18 - 88 years of age, from diverse ethnic, cultural, religious backgrounds and LGBTQIA. I have been trained to treat and continue to see patients with depression, anxiety, chronic pain and illness, obsessive-compulsive, eating disorders, anger, drugs, alcohol, post traumatic stress, interpersonal, relationship and intra psychic issues.

The combination of modalities helps patients to understand issues and work through them in real time.
