You're tossing and turning with your mind churning over What Ifs or moments that haunt. You feel stressed or overwhelmed; a sense of dread always lurking in the background. Maybe you're snapping at people or pushing them away. It might seem like everyone else is able to do things so much easier or better. Sometimes it seems like you're moving through thick fog. But it doesn't have to be this way.

In today's era of professional, familial, and societal pressures, we are constantly confronted with overwhelming challenges that over time, impact us in profound ways, often leaving us feeling entrapped with fear and worry, and deeply deprived from our true sense of self, and of meaning and purpose.

As a parent, you want your children and teens to make good decisions, feel safe and secure, create/maintain positive friendships, and learn strong problem-solving skills. Parents often contact North Shore Family Services when their child is misbehaving at home or at school, not listening, having meltdowns, showing signs of anxiety, or struggling to make connections with peers.

"The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide you are not going to stay where you are." I am a therapist that prioritizes healing, empowerment, and forward movement. In my therapeutic approach, I will listen intently and explore your life story to understand your movement through life – what works for you and what gets in the way. Through encouragement and exercises, I inspire people to seek what fulfills them and to work through their challenges. I also offer a place to process your pains, insecurities, and hardships without judgment.

When children and families struggle to understand one another and high emotions get in the way of daily activities, it can take a toll on the entire family. I work with children and families struggling with issues including behavioral concerns, sibling rivalry, potty training/toilet issues, trauma, relationship concerns, depression and anxiety. I specialize in working with young children and their families to build a strong relationship and help children tackle the tasks and goals asked of them every day.

I have been in practice since 2002, helping adolescents, adults, couples, families and groups. I work collaboratively with clients from a biopsychosocial perspective, using the interrelationship between the mind and body as a focus for treatment. As a medical psychologist on staff at Swedish Hospital in Chicago, I am better able to diagnose and treat psychological issues that also can lead to physical disorders and medical conditions that have concurrent psychological impact.

I have over 37 years of experience working with individuals, couples, families and groups. In my practice I see adults of any age who may experience issues related to: stress, loss, anxiety and/or depression in their relationships, at home, work or school. Over the years I have fine tuned my techniques in helping my clients. My style is active, non-judgmental supportive and collaborative. I believe that emotional injuries from the past live in the present effecting how we relate and react to people and events throughout life.

When your child/teen is struggling, you want strategies to combat challenges NOW. I am the founder of North Shore Family Services, where we empower kids and teens to learn tools, so they can succeed independently. Our goal is for children, teens, adults, parents, and couples to learn skills to be successful with school, peers, work, and family- longafter therapy ends. We assist with IEP and 504 plans to help our children/teen clients succeed where they spend most of their day- out of their parents' sight.

Are you feeling stuck, stressed, or anxious? Do you or your child need help to improve confidence, make new friends, or cope with your current life circumstances? Are you going through a life transition and would like extra support? I am passionate about working with adolescents, young adults, adults, and families who are working through a life transition (school, family, friendship), anxiety, COVID related anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, poor communication skills, family conflict, and difficulty connecting and making friends.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and have been in private practice since 2001. My practice is geared toward working with adolescents and adults in individual, couples, and family settings with a range of issues. My style of therapy is very interactive and dynamic, as well as insight oriented. I firmly believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship as helping to create the greatest change. Clients describe me as genuine, empathic, and easy to connect with. I believe in setting mutual goals with my clients as well as maintaining a long term relationship with them.

I offer comfort, counsel and clarity to individuals and families facing medical illness, grief, loss and bereavement, and/or life transitions. Companioning folks on these journeys allows me to help them lessen their sense of isolation, to help identify and utilize their strengths, and to manage difficult emotions. Frequently clients are overwhelmed and need help sorting through stressful feelings and situations. Once that is accomplished, much progress is made. In life transitions, identifying and touching the emotions and then re-establishing a life-plan are often the primary goals, crafted to the client's unique needs.

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist and owner of the Center for Psychology & Wellness (click website link to learn more!) who is passionate about helping people manage symptoms and get lives back on track. I help people feel safe/comfortable as they work through difficulties. I have helped many people overcome their struggles, feel empowered, and learn life-long skills to deal with emotions and problematic behaviors. I specialize in comprehensive psychological assessments for school children, teenagers, and young adults, and adults. I accept testing referrals from parents, teachers, psychiatrists, pediatricians, schools, adoption agencies, judges, attorneys, and other Chicago agencies.

When kids meltdown, tantrum, hit or yell, it's often because they don't have the coping skills to effectively manage their big emotions. Simply telling your child to "stop yelling" or "stop hitting". And, "use your words", contrary to popular belief, often won't work. They don't know what to do instead and don't know what words to use. Often, frustration with school or friends surfaces at home, not school. I teach you and your child strategies to maintain friendships, manage worries/fears, and learn how to meet teachers' expectations to receive praises instead of trips to the principal's office.
