"Are you unappreciated? Do you have trouble with intimacy and relationships? Do you feel unfulfilled? Are you depressed or stressed out and feel as if you just "can't go on"? Choosing a psychotherapist is an important--and often difficult--decision. I practice psychotherapy that it is interactive: I respond to what my clients tell me; I offer advice when appropriate; and provide guidance for deeper understanding when this can be helpful."

"In practice for 32 years, I have a great deal of experience with children, adolescents and adults. Area of specialization is working with perpetrators of and family members impacted by domestic violence. Anxiety and life adjustments are also an area of specialty. It is my belief that emotional energy is finite and that helping you in achieving balance can be so very helpful in finding solutions to emotional distress. Jazz trumpet is my avocation and I work to pass along the lessons I have learned relating to persistence and mindfulness."

"I'm a licensed clinical psychologist. In my 25+ years as a psychotherapist I've come to appreciate the wisdom found in various therapeutic models. So I've developed an integrative approach. I believe it's important to tailor the therapy to the individual. Our past, present, and future all influence our choices and behaviors. So I find it helpful to put on trifocals to see where we're at, how we got here, and where we want to go. As social beings our interpersonal relationships are vital to our well-being and happiness. Sometimes our interpersonal style helps us connect with others; sometimes it gets in the way of our relationships. Checking out our personality style is often beneficial. As individuals we are unfolding in our own unique way and I believe there is an inner wisdom that leads us to who we are and what we really desire. Sometimes we get disconnected from ourselves and need to get back in touch by looking inward. My office has a comfortable living room feel to it. The location provides privacy, is easily accessible by public transportation, and parking is readily available. I have weekday, evening, and weekend hours."

"It's a brave decision to seek therapy and the experience can be the greatest gift you give yourself. I offer a relaxing space where you can reflect and focus on personal growth and positive change. I provide positive feedback to help you address current life challenges and resolve long standing issues. Often the goal of therapy can be as simple as becoming aware of patterns and understanding how your motivations are linked to certain behaviors."

"Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, drug or alcohol problems, other addictions, or difficult personal challenges? Are you are unhappy in your relationship with your partner, children, or others? Do you have a family member such as a child, teenager, or a spouse with addiction or mental health problems? Are you are ready to make some changes in your life? Let me help you to resolve some of these issues, and to find peace, balance, meaning and value in your life."

"As a therapist, I work with individuals experiencing genuine emotional distress. The circumstances are different for different people - you may be struggling with depression or anxiety, or facing a major life transition. I can be helpful by listening to what you have to say about your situation, offering emotional support and helping you come up with your own solutions to the challenges you face."

"Tired of feeling alone in your marriage? Can't get your spouse to participate without a big blowup? Feel like you are carrying the whole load of the relationship?

"I am a Clinical Psychologist in private practice in the Andersonville/Edgewater neighborhood of Chicago. I provide individual, family and/or couples therapy with adults, adolescents, and children age five and up. My style is warm, non-judgmental, compassionate, and direct. I believe a strong, trusting, collaborative relationship with one's therapist is vital to realizing change and experiencing growth. I take particular care in tailoring interventions to meet an individual's needs and emphasize their strengths. My approach is largely based on cognitive-behavioral and relational techniques."

"I'm aware of how hard it is to talk about personal problems. You feel vulnerable, confused, embarrassed, angry, afraid, and childlike. You feel stuck at a certain level of understanding and problem solving and can't bounce back. You wish you could talk with someone who won't judge you, but listen deeply and help you recapture hope and meaning in your life and relationship."

"Each person entering therapy has unique needs that demand an individual approach. Providing a warm, accepting and empathic environment, I draw from a variety of psychotherapeutic models tailored to the needs of each client. With many years of experience as a mental health professional, including over 20 years as a licensed clinical psychologist and a previous career as a psychiatric nurse, I have worked with many individuals and couples with a variety of issues. My clients can expect to emerge from therapy better equipped to address the challenges they face now and those they will confront in the future."

"I specialize in helping children and adolescents overcome social, emotional, behavioral, and classroom difficulties. I also counsel parents seeking new ways to help their children, strengthen their family relationships, and diminish their stress. I am experienced in working with young people to resolve problems that include ADHD, anger, anxiety, depression, frequent conflict, emotional dysregulation, and adjustment to life-changing events such as adoption, death, or divorce. My goal is to help children and parents address their concerns in ways that lead them to cope more skillfully, relate more positively, and live more fully. Counseling sessions may include individuals, dyads, or families."

"Feelings of anxiety and depression are signals. They are NOT your fault. They tell us about unresolved and repressed feelings originating from painful situations - past or present. They usually occur either in the work arena or in relationships or both. Unresolved events can block development and subsequently produce a sense of despair. I specialize in getting to the 'root' of issues; helping to resolve that which has not been adequately dealt with, thereby facilitating development to resume."

"My style is collaborative and based in the belief that we all have the power to help ourselves. I provide a safe and supportive environment by consistently being warm, accepting and empathic, no matter what the issue. In therapy, we will work together to develop an objective perspective in order to identify what you want to change, and what you cannot change. We will then take action to build insight into your life situation, improve coping with difficult problems, and help you try new behaviors to reach your goal of feeling better."

"For over 15 years I have worked with children, teens and adults managing difficulties with social, emotional and behavioral difficulties. The diverse experience with each age has given me insight to share in the therapy room with you. I address each challenge with great care and energy to help move toward growth with you or your child to find understanding and greater ways of coping, being in relationships and thriving."

"I am a compassionate counselor that believes in the power of warm healthy relationships to heal the distress of challenging life experiences. I take a creative and mindful approach to therapy with an emphasis on personal strengths and goal direction. With respect, humor, acceptance and empowerment, I work to increase awareness and understanding and assist you in viewing yourself and your world in positive and exciting new ways. We will collaborate to find a path of personal growth that feels right for you."

"I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist who has been in practice for over 25 years. I have come to believe that so much of what makes therapy work is the relationship which is established between my clients and me. If you come and see me I will spend a good amount of time really getting to know you: trying to understand your therapeutic issues as well as your history, personal strengths, and weaknesses."

"Have you ever asked yourself these kinds of questions: How do I stop stressing out and worrying so much? Can I really find meaning and fulfillment in my life? How can I have healthier relationships? How do I gain more self-confidence? If so, we could be an excellent match for each other. I specialize in helping people create the lives they want."
