Because I believe that motivated people are capable of making changes in their lives, I encourage clients to accept responsibility for their own choices. I enjoy seeing people feel more confident about making independent decisions. Whether they have relationship issues, anxiety, fears, depression, or just ways they need to make small adjustments to their way of being, it is gratifying for me to provide the assistance as I watch them "fix" themselves.

Many of the clients that I have worked with during the past 27 years have faced stressful life events that have triggered anxiety, depression, and anger. Frequently, these feelings have begun to significantly interfere with relationships, work, and overall sense of self. I provide a safe and respectful relationship that promotes courage and strength to confront and work through these difficult feelings and experiences. By talking with a caring and trained professional, my clients are able to develop new perspectives about themselves and their concerns and this allows them to approach life with increased hope and enjoyment.

I have a wide range of expereince dealing with emotional difficulties and relationship difficulties. I want my clients to experience their "self" as good and true. I want them to learn to trust themselves, and to experience a sense of vitality and accomplishment in living.

My specialty is couple and family counseling, and of course, I also see individuals ages 12 and up. I have significant experience working with children and families who are involved with DCFS.

I am committed to meeting my clients where they're at, moving at a comfortable pace, and fostering an overall sense of safety throughout the therapeutic process. I support clients in identifying strengths and areas for growth while validating the unique experiences of each individual. Together, we can construct individualized, realistic goals for therapy that empower clients through self-awareness and the development of life skills. I work with adolescents and young adults facing challenges related to life transitions, grief/loss, anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, and self-esteem.

Clients often come to therapy with confusion, frustration, or shame about why they are experiencing the symptoms or problems that distress them. A very important part of psychotherapy is becoming more curious about thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that initially may seem to make no sense and have no useful purpose. When we come to appreciate that even distressing or self-destructive thoughts, feelings, or behaviors have important things to tell us, we can begin to experience empathy for ourselves, make sense of our distress, and turn toward making desired changes.
