I find that each individual knows when they are ready to live their life differently, for any number of reasons. I enjoy helping individuals find their way forward through an often bumpy path.

We are partners together. Let's use humor, compassion, and practical strategies to create the best life we can!

It takes courage to reach out for help. As a caring, knowledgeable therapist, I am committed to assisting people to take the additional steps necessary to create change in their lives. Let's work together to identify the changes you wish to make and develop a plan to move toward those goals. Whether it is depression, anxiety, grief and loss or whatever issues you face, I can help you as I have helped others to achieve their goals as they improve the quality of their lives.

I help people learn how to handle the challenges of daily life in relationship with the spiritual world. Most people are accustomed to thinking of themselves as alone in the world and to figure things out on their own, and fight for survival. As a spiritual counselor, I help you meet the challenges of life from a new awareness of collective existence. I help you gain an understanding of your role in the unfolding of your life. I offer support of the whole person, soul and spirit, emotions, mind and body in practical life.

I believe in the healing power of the therapeutic relationship. Such a relationship is a partnership between therapist and client. People look at themselves honestly and choose goals that are truer to their values when they are in a safe and trusting relationship. My approach is warm, empathic and non-judgmental. I listen carefully, asking questions to encourage exploration of pertinanent issues, giving suggestions, feedback and sharing insights. I serve adults, ages 18 to 88 and older. I work with couples and individuals, specializing in trauma, grief, depression, anxiety , relationship problems and difficult life transitions. I am Level 2 Certified in EMDR.

CONNECTING. I try to build a connection with people that helps develop understanding, support, & solutions. I strive to give clients the combination of both caring & competence.

Whether it's simply needing support through a difficult divorce, dealing with painful grief, or getting help managing depression or anxiety, therapy can help you lead a healthier, more fulfilled life. My role as a therapist and Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 15 years of experience, is to provide you with a safe, nurturing, supportive place for you to work on your issues without feeling judged. We work together to identify goals and create a plan to achieving them by gaining support, feedback and learning healthier ways to cope.

I take an active part in helping my clients recognize why they may engage in maladaptive behaviors and help them to move toward constructive ways of handling their life issues in more adaptive ways. I worked for three years in the adolescent psychiatry division at Cook County Hospital and have continued my interest and expertise working with adolescents. I also have extensive experience working with clients who suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder as I was a psychologist on a team working with children who had been physically or sexually abused.

I have been a therapist for 14 years and worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings with children, adolescents, and adults. In the past several years, I have focused on working with adults who suffer from anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, poor self-esteem, life transitions, abuse, generational trauma, infertility, and parenting. Together we gain insight into their lives by identifying changes they would like to make, how the past impacts the present, and work towards healing and happiness. I work with all races and religions and am aware of my privilege, which is open for discussion as to how it will impact our therapy.

I specialize in clinical counseling and art therapy. I utilize my skills to increase clients' installation of hope, trust, and faith within themselves. These qualities are imperative to gain self-esteem, improve insight, and strengthen stability in our lives. "I strongly believe that the healing process begins when a therapeutic relationship is established and that the power of art is an important piece of this process." My ideal clients are ones who are willing to work hard, play hard, have fun and enjoy life with the assistance of myself and, the therapeutic process.

I have twelve years of experience providing therapy with adults, children, adolescents, and families. I strive to work with clients in a compassionate and collaborative way, to empower them to move beyond the challenges which keep them from living life abundantly. I use an eclectic approach, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy, to assist clients in finding solutions to their challenges.

I view counseling and therapy as a conversation. It is my goal to help my clients identify and define what they value in life. Most negative emotions that we experience in life are due to frustrated efforts at achieving the things we value. Often we stand in the way of our own happiness due to unexamined expectations. I believe progress comes through increased awareness and understanding of one's core beliefs about self, others, and the world. I purpose to serve as a sounding board to this growth in awareness and understanding.

I believe a good working relationship can be one of the foundations of effective therapy, and some of my greatest natural strengths lie in the area of creating a relationship with you characterized by safety, trust and collaboration. The working environment we create will be especially helpful for those with depression, personality and relationship issues. I am comfortable with shorter-term work, but also recognize that some work takes additional time with a therapist in order to explore issues in greater depth and to generate lasting and meaningful change.

I have over 20 years of experience and have worked in a wide variety of treatment settings, including in-home counseling, residential treatment, and outpatient community mental health centers as well as private practice. I help clients develop individual strategies and goals to move forward through obstacles such as anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, trauma, adjustment issues, and difficulty connecting to a partner or family member to improve the functioning and relationships in their lives.

We have all been there. Feeling overwhelmed, hopeless, or just stuck.Though it may seem out of reach, relief is possible. Together, we can utilize therapy to gain an understanding of your current concerns and build on your strengths to achieve lasting improvement in your experiences and relationships. I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is an integral part of creating healthy, lasting change. I will work hard to build a trusting, collaborative relationship with you. Ultimately, my hope is you will leave therapy with the skills to advocate for yourself, face challenges, and establish and maintain satisfying relationships.
