Hello! At the beginning, my focus will be on getting to know you. Everyone has a story to tell and as you tell yours, I will be looking for your personal character strengths (we all have them). Your character strengths will help you achieve the positive change(s) you are seeking. Once I get a grasp on your strengths, we will combine your natural strengths with new strategies and supports from a variety of research-based resources. It is my goal that each and every counseling session be preventative, proactive, and/or empowering. Often, you will be given homework so the therapy continues even when we are not meeting.

As a clinical social worker practicing for decades, I continue to believe that establishing a positive therapeutic relationship is critical for client success. Trust takes time however, and needs to be earned. Clients are made comfortable through using humor and a genuine interest in their life story. The power of creativity to solve problems and enhance the quality of one’s life is foundational.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with extensive experience in providing individual, couples, and family therapy to adolescents and adults. I treat a variety of issues and diagnoses, including difficulties related to developmental and life transitions, anxiety, depression, relationships, previous trauma (physical, sexual, emotional abuse), and gender and sexual identity concerns.

I treat a variety of issues and diagnoses, including difficulties related to developmental and life transitions, anxiety, depression, relationships, previous trauma (physical, sexual, emotional abuse), and gender and sexual identity concerns.
My original purpose in becoming a psychologist was to understand how to help children who are hurting. I serve children and adolescents who are struggling with a wide variety of concerns, often trauma, depression, anxiety, or self-injury. Of course this also involves support and guidance for their parents. I enjoy using this same developmental perspective to help adults who are struggling with the impact their childhood now has on them, for instance addressing codependency, boundaries, or experiences of childhood abuse. It is a joy to see clients discovering and blossoming into who they are created to be.

Many of us reach a point where we feel stuck in our lives or our relationships. We realize that what we have done in the past to manage stress, to cope, to heal, to move forward is no longer working the way it used to and we need new strategies. As an individual and family therapist who has worked for 12+ years in two diverse metropolitan areas (New York and Chicago), my work has focused on family relationships, identity exploration, adult and adolescent mental health issues, parenting, social skills, grief, loss, and other life traumas.

I utilize the methods from Emotionally Focused Therapy, which is a scientifically proven approach, based in Attachment Theory. Couples develop an understanding of their negative interactive cycle and learn how to reconnect through listening, validation, and empathy, creating emotional safety and healing in their relationship. The EFT process helps couples, families, and individuals to repair attachment injuries and create secure bonds, leading to improvements in depression and anxiety. I also offer faith-based counseling based on my client's preferences.
