I am a Licenced Clinical Social Worker and Registered Play Therapist Supervisor with advanced training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy. I have over 20 years of clinical experience working with individuals, couples, and families dealing with a range of emotional, developmental, and situational issues.
As a Registered Play Therapist, I rely on evidenced-based treatment to help children cope with issues including anger management, grief and loss, divorce, crisis and trauma, generalized anxiety, socialization difficulties, ADHD, autism, depression, oppositional and defiant behavior, and separation anxiety.
As a graduate of The Chicago Psychoanalytic Institute, I have advanced training in treating couples in distress. I primarily use a relational approach to help couples repair from ruptures, and I guide them in their journey to reconnect in deeper ways. I also provide pre-marital counseling, and parenting support and education.
