It takes courage to go to therapy, especially when you feel stuck and vulnerable. That is why I appreciate the importance of a safe, nurturing and non-judgemental environment. There you can explore who you are, what is important to you and to repair what is keeping you from moving forward, whether it is depression/anxiety, relationship issues or an eating disorder. Once you have self-awareness, strategies and support, you will be able to make better choices and be the person you want to be.
Certain responses to feelings can keep you from moving towards things that make life satisfying. For example, you feel depressed and withdraw from friends when actually deeper relationships are important to you. Change is hard but, we will talk about responding to challenges in a way that feels more authentic.
I received my Master of Social Work degree from Loyola University in 1993. Since then I have worked in a variety of settings including community mental health, hospital and private practice. My specialties include depression/anxiety, relationship concerns, eating disorders and support in the pursuit of self-awareness and authenticity.

I often use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in my practice, because it combines using our personal history to inform who we are today and at the same time it encourages behavioral change to gain new experiences and set off on a new path. Once you make a change, then you can actually feel its effect on your life immediately, even if it feels new and scary.
