I emphasize the individual and the relationship system.
We all experience emotional and physical difficulties from time to time. Often we are able to deal with these life experiences ourselves. Sometimes, however, it is not possible for us to resolve these challenges alone. In these situations professional help is appropriate. Until fifty years ago anyone experiencing psychological and/or physical stress was treated individually. Family therapy grew out of a simple but profound idea: People in crisis can often be best understood and treated within their own famiies. As a certified family therapist, as well as a certified psychoanalyst, I have the education necessary to see both famiies and individuals.

At times, we feel anxious, overwhelmed or misunderstood. These feelings are normal as we deal with the challenges of life events. I've worked with clients for over 20 years, including adolescents, adults and couples on a variety of topics including: relationship issues, anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief and loss, parenting challenges, self-esteem, stress management, workplace and career issues, and health issues. I provide a safe, professional space where I listen without judgment to help people navigate challenges and work through conflicts in a healthy way. We work together to identify patterns and gain new insights.

I believe the therapeutic relationship fosters an engagement in a process of growth, change and freedom for a more meaningful life.
I practice psychodynamic psychotherapy and have worked with adults affected by persistent mental illness, young adults who received political asylum in the U.S. as survivors of torture and individuals and couples managing life challenges and transitions. I earned a Masters degree in Social Work from Loyola University Chicago and completed post- graduate training at the Institute for Clinical Social Work. I bring prior professional experience as a teacher who worked closely with undergraduate students on finding their own voice.

Being in a conscious, committed relationship can be the most challenging "job" you've ever had.
Marriage Whisperer! That's what a recent couple called me after one of our sessions. The reality is that I've been fortunate to be trained by Harville Hendrix, an expert in the field of couple's therapy and the founder of Imago Relationship Therapy. Imago therapy is a state-of-the-art system that gives couples of all kinds, the knowledge, and most importantly, the TOOLS to help each other give and receive the love they want. I work with couples both in my office, and in the weekend "Getting the Love You Want" workshops.

Each and every person is born with unique strengths and vast potential to achieve. Oftentimes, though, life's challenges get in the way. It may be external stressors, traumatic experiences or our own dysfunctional thoughts and patterns of behavior that make it difficult to live a satisfying and fulfilling life.
Entering into a therapeutic relationship of acceptance and trust can serve as a turning point for achieving growth and change.

The right relationship is everything between therapist and client.
I seek to serve members of the clergy and their families in Illinois. You and your dear ones often experience great joy and meaning in your callings. Along with these, however, you frequently feel lonely, isolated, judged, never good enough, overwhelmed, overworked, underpaid, and dismissed, feelings which you dare not share with others. You need to be seen and heard by someone with whom you can freely express these emotions, speak your truth, and be your authentic self. With me, you will find a non-judgmental therapist who has had similar experiences and who understands the unique challenges which clergy and their families face.

I integrate other modalities in our work together as we slowly traverse building a therapeutic relationship together.
Symptoms tell stories and those stories must be heard, understood and thought about. Psychotherapy is committing to a psychic journey where one endeavors at an understanding of themselves through a deep and long term process. I focus on increasing ones sense of inner freedom and reducing stress that manifests in unwanted symptoms, via thoughts, emotions and behaviors.

The ideal client, my colleagues tell me, is someone who respects the boundaries of the relationship, knows when and how to use their therapist (we tell you) and tries to do "homework," the assignments talked about in therapy that are likely to help. Mostly there isn't any! And it doesn't matter anyway. People come to therapy because they need it, not because they want to hang out, and they want something to change, not only in others, but in themselves. Therapy is, or should be, a safe place. Most seasoned therapists are still in it because they find it effective and personally gratifying. I guess I'm one.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
