I believe the therapeutic relationship is the crucible within which clients are helped to heal their pain. I take an active role in the therapeutic process by engaging with the client so he or she feels understood, respected, and seen. The feelings of shame, fear, anxiety and other painful emotions are worked through so the client feels taken care of. The clients I treat often come into therapy in a survival mode. I help people in moving from survival to a life of thriving and self love. Dysfunctional behaviors creates people who feel inauthentic, even to themselves. I assist people in developing true authenticity and a real self.
I am highly specialized in treating people who demonstrate personality disorders, attachment, intimacy fears and addictions. I also work with Executives and their staff to develop more functional groups. Approximately 30% of my clients are either therapists or in the helping professions. My style can be described as highly interactive and warmly engaging.
The mere fact that you are exploring therapy is a courageous move. I can assist you as I am focused on helping to reverse self sabotaging behaviors. I taugh at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, where I was Adjunct Professor of the Year, 2018. I create a safe place for you to do the work needed to finally create real authenticity in your life.
