As a Licensed Psychotherapist, Author, and Educator, I bring 28 years of clinical expertise and 20 years of teaching experience to my practice. I firmly believe that successful therapy requires an eclectic, progressive, evidenced based psychotherapeutic approach coupled (when necessary) with a deep understanding of the healthcare system. When working with clients, I prioritize solution-oriented, effective symptom relief methods. Recognizing the complexity of individuals, I address psychological and emotional concerns within the broader context of family dynamics, self-perception, work-related stress, and physical health.

Lake Forest, IL 60045
When it comes to mental health treatment, our approach is simple and unique: our accomplished team of physicians and therapists work together to diagnose and treat your body, mind and spirit as a whole. We are one of the few practices combining traditional treatment with evidence-based alternative therapies, all under one roof. We are privileged to have changed the lives of many families in Chicago's North Shore, as well as out-of-state and foreign visitors. Our "whole body" approach to treating mental health conditions is supported by clinical studies. These include but are not limited to: Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), diet and exercise, spiritual/social evaluation, yoga and art therapy. Many still focus only on the brain, treating symptoms, not causes. In many cases they over-prescribe medications. While our physicians do prescribe medications as needed, what sets us apart is our commitment to explore all options. We search for root causes and provide the most appropriate treatment, not merely the most convenient one. When we do prescribe, we go the extra mile to customize a plan that minimizes side effects. You and your family deserve the best in healthcare!

As a life-long gamer, I recognize the many educational and social benefits video games can offer. I also know that, for some, video games can present a serious concern. Because they are often designed to be habit-forming, many players find it challenging to balance their desire to play games with work, chores, family time, homework, and extracurricular activities. Parents may struggle to understand whether these games are harmless fun – a popular way to hang out with friends online – or an isolating obsession.

Life can be challenging. Everyone wants to be heard, and it is important to have an outlet. It can be hard to reach out when in need of support, and it can be even harder to find the right therapist for you. When first meeting with a client I focus on building a therapeutic alliance. I want to know your interests and what's important to you. I understand that in order for someone to make change support and care need to be built through trust. Trust doesn't come easy, but with patience, it can be built. I aim to develop a strong bond with each of my clients. You are not alone, we will walk together on your healing journey.

SEX THERAPY. How do we rebuild trust after this? Why are we struggling to connect with each other sexually? You may hear yourself asking these questions and not know where to begin or how to overcome the emotional distance you feel between yourself and your partner. I am passionate about working with couples and individuals desiring to move towards connection. For some couples or individuals it may be hard to connect because of previous wounds you carry from other relationships. For others it may be that it is hard to talk openly and honestly to each other or maybe pornography, infidelity, substance use has eroded trust.
