I have provided mental health services in Northern Illinois and the suburban Chicago area for over 30 years as a Licensed Social Worker. I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), as current research shows it to be highly effective for many mood and panic disorders. My approach is warm, interactive, and practical. I listen carefully and provide the tools and education you need to help yourself build a more balanced, effective, and happier life.
I help individuals who are struggling with sadness, frustration, irritability, loneliness, and feelings of emptiness. These symptoms often arise with mood disorders, panic disorders, grief, anxiety, and depression. I offer a supportive, interactive, and practical approach, using cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients better understand their thoughts, m
Therapy with me is a place for fresh starts and meaningful change. I offer high-quality services with flexible fees to help meet my clients’ needs. I provide counseling for individuals, couples, and families, tailoring treatment to each client’s unique goals and needs.
