Are you struggling through your days or feel that your life and relationships could be more meaningful? Therapy could help you. I will work with you to manage distressing feelings and to understand the origin of your problems. Every patient enters therapy with a unique set of needs. I tailor treatment to address your needs and goals. By working in this way therapy opens you to a positive emotional experience which in turn transforms how you approach living your life. Therapy is an investment in your future and my commitment is to assist you to live a life of vitality.
I have experience both with people wanting to try therapy for the first time and those who have engaged in previous therapy and are now looking for an approach that focuses on longterm sustained change. I am a trained psychoanalysis and therapist. Some patients find medication helpful. I work in consultation with psychiatrists when medication is indicated.
I am an adjunct faculty member at Loyola University Chicago, School of Social Work and a clinical outcomes researcher. My research focuses on patient's experience of therapy. I am a faculty member at the Michigan Psychoanalytic Institute. I am licensed in Illinois, Maryland and Virginia.
