Let's Connect (773) 309-3165
I bring more than 25 years of service, creative thought, a sense of humor and life experiences to my practice. Together, we will create a welcoming safe and comfortable environment to discuss and work through life and life experiences. I utilize a solution and strengths based approach when working with individuals and families and I specialize in working with adolescents and adults. I believe that most of us have what we need to solve our issues internally and having a professional to guide us through identifying that solution is what successful therapeutic relationships are about.
I am skilled in working with symptoms of anxiety, depression, mood disorders and trauma, I am ready to assist my clients with positive outcomes and symptom alleviation.
I am a seasoned professional who is culturally competent and has experience working with people from many different walks of life. It will be a privilege and an honor to help you.
