I have over 25 years experience helping clients of all ages tap into their strengths to achieve their life's goals. My non-judgmental, authentic and empathic approach inspires, motivates and guides clients into becoming healthier, happier and more connected in their lives. I blend many types of research-based theories and practices to find the unique strategy that helps clients triumph over their weaknesses. I am a tireless advocate for my clients, tapping into their resiliency to overcome their challenges.
I have extensive experience with clients struggling with Attention-Deficit Disorder, Anxiety, Depression and Eating Disorders. A specialty population is working with very young children struggling with sensory integration disorders, as well as with children and adolescents with behavior, eating, anxiety and mood disorders.
I am a certified facilitator in Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction for teens and a certified 1-2-3 Magic Family Trainer. I am an Executive Board member of the Association for Child and Adolescent Counselors of Illinois.
