Are you trying to navigate a difficult time in your life? I can help! I specialize in working with couples and individuals who are trying to fix their relationships, navigate infidelity or feel more connected. I also help people who are experiencing infertility or a non-traditional path to parenthood. I have a lot of experience helping couples transition into a new relationship after children arrive. And, I offer therapy to women who are interested in being a Single Mother by Choice. I provide a supportive environment where you can feel heard and seen in a non-judgmental space.
I am trained in Gottman Couples Therapy and I provide individual and couples counseling services in person at my office in Wicker Park. My treatment utilizes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and CBT. I am specialized in working with people who are struggling with infidelity, infertility, pregnancy and early parenthood. I have been in practice for 18 years.
You can expect to receive high quality individualized attention and excellent client service from me. My style is directive, engaging, humorous and I take an open-minded and empathetic approach to client wellness. My office is conveniently located in Wicker Park just steps away from public transportation and ample street parking.
