I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and yoga Instructor. I completed my doctoral degree at the Illinois School of Professional Psychology and yoga training through the LifePower Program. I want to provide you with the skills needed to heal and then assist you in using those skills to complete your goals. I combine your strengths with scientifically proven Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to manage relationship difficulties and life stressors. I have many years of experience working with individuals with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, and psychosis.
Our minds and bodies are strongly interconnected and I utilize mindfulness skills and relaxation techniques to allow individuals to feel more connected to themselves and those around them. In addition, I assist people by increasing their self-confidence, improving motivation, learning to set and maintain boundaries, and enhance communication.
I offer patients the option to include yogic breathing and poses in session. Emotional struggles store themselves within the physical body. Incorporating yoga can help open the mind and body from stress. I am a former group therapist at Alexian Brothers Behavioral Health Hospital and researcher at Compass Health Center. Author of: I Wish I Knew This Sooner.
