I approach my patients with quiet confidence, intelligence, respect, and concern. My job is to help you determine quickly if we are a good match and tailor my therapeutic approach to your needs. While therapy is a collaborative effort, I am frequently able to uncover repetitive patterns of self-defeating behavior rapidly. it is usually possible to give new patients a sense of direction and reason to believe in the possibility of a better future. I am expert in both cognitive/behavioral and psychodynamic forms of treatment. I also employ mindfulness-based practices when appropriate. Trained at Northwestern University, I was named the "featured therapist" of the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies. My therapeutic approach varies depending upon what you need. One size doesn't fit all. Some people need a more supportive approach (to get over grief, for example). Others need a more active approach to allow their core beliefs about what is important in life to become consistent with how they lead their life. Ultimately, for all of us, this is a path that creates the greatest possibility of fulfillment. Life's journey requires us all to keep learning along the way. While therapy needn't be life long, being open to change is essential. New situations, in work or relationships or just in the form of getting older, challenge us to find new solutions. Therapy can be a place to start. If you'd like to find out more about me, a good place to start is my blog.

My approach to therapy is to at first listen to and understand the issues that are most important to you. Your feelings are valid, and I want to understand you and the concerns that you have. My role is to guide you in finding new solutions to problems, new ways in which to view issues, and to increase the possible options about how to address your concerns. I believe that therapy is a partnership. We can work together to identify what is concerning you, what you want to change, and to set realistic goals. We can discuss a time frame for therapy. Some people want short-term specific goal oriented therapy. You might need to address something that is currently occurring that is very troublesome. There may be specific life issues or problems that you are experiencing for which you want relief or to become unstuck. Some of these issues might be related to family, marital, or other relationship problems, anxiety, grief, employment, or other life issues and stressors. You may want longer-term therapy. Perhaps you are looking for support in managing and coping with a chronic medical condition, pain, mental health issues, a loss, trauma, or alcohol and substance abuse. Whatever your issues and concerns, we can work together to meet your specific needs. I wish to offer you a safe, quiet, pleasant atmosphere in which to discuss your personal concerns. All information discussed is kept strictly confidential under the State of Illinois and Federal HIPAA Laws. Feel free to contact me with your questions and to further inquire about whether I am the right therapist for you.

Together we can explore what's happening in your life.

Whether it be the presence of life stressors, or long standing issues, my goal is to support your exploration of thoughts, feelings, and experiences, in order to gain peace of mind. As we establish a strong working relationship, you will experience the benefits of support, empathy, and empowerment, while simultaneously working to create fulfillment in your life.

Seeking the support of a therapist is a positive step toward actively addressing and resolving emotions and situations that are troubling you. Many of my clients start therapy because they are feeling anxious or depressed, burdened by relationship sturggles, or stressed by life's demands. Others use the therapy experience as a way to maximize personal happiness and explore self-improvement. No matter what you may be feeling, please know that you do have the power to change your behavior patterns, the way you think about challenges, how you respond in relationships, and how you care for yourself. It's my honor to guide people in this process. The biggest predictor of success in therapy is whether you feel comfortable with your therapist. My style is supportive and respectful, but also practical and action-oriented. I realize that starting therapy can feel intimidating and I place the highest priority on creating a caring, safe and confidential environment for you to discuss your thoughts and feelings.

I offer a supportive, non-judgmental environment in which we will work together to help you achieve your goals.

I also work with couples interested in premarital counseling using the PREPARE/ENRICH program. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.

I believe that people are always trying to grow, that this never stops no matter what your age or life situation.

I offer relationship based psychotherapy and have trained in Solution Focused Therapy as well as Narrative Therapy. I have experience with Illness Adjustment, Depression, Anxiety, Childhood Trauma, in addition to Identity Issues. Feel free to contact me with questions.

My clinical work has focused on providing service for adults with an emphasis on individuals with chronic health conditions such as chronic pain and cancer; as well as healthy individuals suffering with anxiety or depression. I tend to intergrate a variety of skills based approaches into my therapy Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, biofeedback, and neurofeedback. When I work with clients, I create a collaborative environment where you are working together to find your strengths, build new skills, and return to coping methods that have been under utilized. My goal is to help my clients develop confidence in themselves as they continue to live and move forward. My view of a successful therapy is when a client has learned the tools to the best of their ability and feels confident as they move forward with their life.
