Sometimes our lives can feel really hard. You wish things were different for you, sensing a huge gap between where your life is and where you want it to be. You are dealing with challenging situations, feeling overwhelmed and unsure what to do next or how to manage. You feel lonely, sad, or anxious, and just don’t want to feel this way anymore. All of this leaves you feeling hopeless and in need of relief. It all just feels like too much sometimes and you desperately want to feel better.

I assist clients to manage life transitions, stress/trauma, relationships issues, mood or anxiety, parenting, infidelity, disconnection, women's pregnancy-related issues, and the transition to motherhood.
UPDATE: I currently have openings for new telehealth clients (MD, IL, and PSYPACT states). My practice consists of a small group of psychologists focused on helping clients make changes toward more fulfilling, connected, and healthier lives. Knowing it can be difficult to reach out for help, I create a caring, safe space in which we work collaboratively to foster healing and eliminate barriers to finding meaning and living life more fully. Therapy is a collaborative endeavor, and it is key to develop an effective and nurturing relationship in which we have a common understanding of the challenges you face.

I emphasize a collaborative approach to therapy--I bring 30 years of clinical experience, as well as enthusiasm, hope, and a dose of humor, and ask only that you bring an openness to change. Together, we identify specific life goals and generate plans to achieve them. Ultimately, you will come to understand that you make perfect sense; you may just not have been able to use this self-awareness to make the most productive decisions. My strong suit is quickly identifying underlying problems and patterns, as well as your personal strengths and resources.
