I enjoy seeing individuals (including therapists) who are working on resolving complex trauma and couples who are dealing with high conflict/unresolved conflict. I maintain a small, specialized practice in these areas. I have two Master's degrees in counseling and 30+ yrs experience. I practice in the states of Illinois and Michigan. I'm a trauma-sensitive psychotherapist, certified in using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) through telehealth. EMDR is an exciting approach to trauma response that can often very quickly and successfully help resolve immediate trauma and clear long-term emotional blocks.
I focus on clients with complex trauma and couples with unresolved conflict because I enjoy seeing my clients engage their potential. I love seeing couples discover the intimacy that lies behind conflict they have left unresolved or ignored. I offer adjunct EMDR to individuals already in therapy with clinicians who don't do EMDR. Please contact me for info
I'm very easy to engage, so if you are interested in help in my areas, feel free to email me to set up a brief (free) consult, whether you are a therapist or a client.

While I am experienced with a multitude of theraputic approaches, some of them with "brand" identities, be assured that I work with my clients on approaches that are effective for them. A working relationship between the therapist and client stands at the center of effectiveness and I prioritize that. I am fully transparent about my approaches and I welcome my clients to question or challenge me.
