Most of us humans have experienced trauma or simply too much stress. Thoughts, body sensations, and images/memories/dreams can cause more emotional and physical pain--and vice versa. To get rid of these unwanted things completely may be expected goals; but to diminish and manage them with less pain or tension is more realistic. To be understood by others, to feel more safe, to feel supported, to receive usable feedback and new ideas--these are goals I will surely help any client experience. Somatic Experiencing facilitates clients in moving forward, at their own pace, building more resilience self-acceptance and confidence.

In therapy, my style is to act as a Guide, not as an Expert. YOU are the expert on YOU! I believe that it is often problematic when others, (including Therapists), try to tell Clients what they should Think, Feel and Do. This is especially true, if they don't even really know you. My goal is to NEVER do this to YOU! I will always strive to give you the right to be yourself and to make your own choices, when YOU are ready! I will do my best to understand you and what is most important to you. I will support you in your efforts to be the person that you want to be and to have the life you want to live! This is My Promise To You!​

I believe that life is a journey, full of joys and disappointments, successes and setbacks. While the extent and nature of my interventions may vary, I strongly believe that all people possess the personal strength and the means to improve their own lives if provided with the necessary guidance and support.

Our world is changing at such a rapid pace. You may feel it's difficult to cope with all these shifts in your life, and to keep up with daily routines. We have all been through a huge upheaval the past several years. Are you looking for a safe, non-judgmental place to process some of these challenges? Or maybe you need some tools and resources to help you (or a loved one) manage anxiety, stress or trauma. Maybe your child/tween/teen/20 yr old has become surprisingly disagreeable, spending less time with family, pushing you away. You may notice changes in appearance, or name. Whether sudden or gradual, you may not know how to cope.

You may be stuck. Confused. Literally at a standstill in your life right now, and you don't know which way to go. Maybe you've confided in family, friends, your partner, and no one could give you actual advice and insight that will lead you in the right direction. I get it. I understand not knowing which way to turn and feeling inadequate and like no one can give you the answers you seek. Maybe you just made a wrong turn and need help getting back on track. Let me let you in on a little secret: The answer lies in you. Yes, YOU. You are capable of more than you realize, and you will soon find out.

Are you feeling stuck? Do you know what is wrong, but not how to fix it? My experience of 30+ years, enables me to offer effective and eclectic outpatient, psychotherapy.

I would be grateful if you would choose me as your Ally to find what will uniquely help you become your best self.

I am dedicated to helping clients develop the insight, coping skills, and self-compassion necessary to become a happy and whole version of themselves.

I began my professional career as a lawyer. Studying and practicing in the field of law helped me develop critical thinking skills and an understanding of how to navigate the practical challenges of life. However, working as a lawyer made me realize I wanted to help people on a more personal, emotional, and psychological level so they could be effective before they need a lawyer. So, at the age of 29, I quit my job as a family law attorney and went back to school to get a Ph.D. in Psychology. As a lifetime student, I am dedicated to learning. I want to learn more about you and help you get to where you want to be.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the state of Illinois and nationally Certified Rehabilitation Counselor with 10 + years of experience working with individuals with various ages, backgrounds, behaviors, personality types and disabilities. I enjoy working with children, teens and adults.

As an MA, LPC, I help individuals explore their thoughts, feelings and behavior to reach a more clear self-understanding and change long-standing patterns of behavior that may be disrupting relationships, work and study. The nonjudgemental and accepting nature of clinical mental health counseling makes it possible to face painful experiences. My client utilizes their capacity to change, seeking mental clarity, presence and balance. As a professional counselor I will work within clearly contracted, ethical boundaries, with respect for my clients, their values, their beliefs, their culture, to explore and resolve life difficulties.

I have experience helping clients with a wide range of needs, such as anxiety, trauma, depression, and other problematic areas through a variety of therapeutic interventions. My approach is research driven and collaborative. My goal is to explore your needs in a manner that meets you where you are and leads to stronger insight, depth, joy, peace, and hope.
