Would you like to feel as calm, peaceful, and present as you possibly can in this moment? Would you like to feel competent, happy, healthy, and free? What is holding you back? Is it a recent stressor or problem that you just can't seem to change? Are you having health issues that are causing you pain, worry, and frustration? Is it a relationship that is causing you a lot of conflict and stress? Have you experienced an incredible loss of someone you love and you are mourning? Do you have memories of trauma that are intruding in your mind, making it difficult for you to feel grounded and at peace today? Struggling through these types of difficult experiences and dealing with painful feelings is something that you do not need to do alone. However, contemplating going to counseling for the first time, or returning to therapy to work on some new or old issues is an anxiety provoking process. It is easy to tell ourselves that we don't have time, we'll be okay without the help, or we can't afford it. However, there is something happening for you right now that brought you to this place at this moment, as you are reading this message. I encourage you to think about what you really need and what you are searching to find. Whatever is happening for you, I imagine you have a need and interest in talking to someone about it and receiving some encouragement and support.

During the first twenty-five years of our lives, we go through vast growth and change. With each age and developmental stage, we are faced with unique stressors and challenges. Sometimes we master these challenges and changes, and sometimes we experience difficulty or obstacles and can’t figure out the best direction for us to take or how to navigate moving forward. When this happens, it’s a sign that we can benefit from and may need some help and support. Whether you’re having difficulty mastering social anxiety, figuring out friendships and relationships, handling all the pressures on your shoulders, navigating “adulting” or the teenage years, struggling with self esteem, liking yourself, or managing depression, anxiety, or uncomfortable feelings, therapy can help. Therapy is a place where you can take the time and have the space to focus on yourself when life becomes difficult. In the beginning of therapy, our first task will to be building a relationship. We will be new to each other, so it will take some time for you to trust, feel comfortable, and secure with me. When that happens, we will begin to form a kind of team so we can collaborate together to help you with what you’re struggling with. Most importantly, I want to create a comfortable, secure, and trusting space and environment for you. One goal of mine is to help you begin to feel that when we meet you are in a space absent of judgement and instead filled with acceptance, compassion, and support.. I’m a good listener, so I will certainly be listening while you share more about yourself. I always want the individuals I work with to feel supported enough to voice their concerns, feelings, thoughts, beliefs, and hopes. Our first session will include you sharing some details of your life, including what is happening in your life that led you to seek supportive therapy. I will also inquire as to what you hope to work on, what you value in life, what you would like to change, what you imagine your life may look like, and what you may feel once you are there. We will want to gather an idea and direction of what you strive to think, believe, feel, and experience, and what you want to be doing in your life once you meet your goals. We will work together to develop an understanding of the areas you are struggling with along with identifying your strengths. Then we will create a few initial goals we can work on together that will help you begin to feel better. I believe that it is necessary to work together to figure out these goals in order to form a clear picture of where you want to get to in order to begin seeing change within yourself and within your life. Determining together what you need and want will be a continuous process, and it will guide our work — it will help you move forward to get to where you want to be.

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.

Do you find yourself repeatedly drawn into the same frustrating emotional patterns and relationships despite your best intentions and efforts to change? Perhaps an approach that addresses the underlying meaning of these seemingly irrational behaviors is called for. I believe that honesty about our desires, motives, and feelings is the first step in the process of growth and change. The courage to honestly face previously disowned experiences, while ultimately freeing, is not easily achieved alone, apart from a trusting relationship. It is my privilege to create a safe context for you to examine your life in all its complexity. I am convinced that when shameful and painful experiences can be brought to light, understood and fleshed out, troubling symptoms tend to subside and relationships improve. Most importantly, it often becomes easier to feel a greater sense of agency, freedom, and purpose in life. I believe that therapy can give you the courage to shed unnecessarily rigid and self-defeating ways of being and relating to others and allow you to experience more contentment and hope in the future. I welcome the opportunity to partner with you in this process.

Are you feeling depressed, anxious, or just feel that life is not all you had hoped? Are your relationships unfulfilling? Having difficulty letting go of past hurts? Using sex or the internet to avoid others or painful emotions? Does it seem impossible to "get through" to your adolescent son or daughter, or even your spouse? Maybe it is time for a change. I am a warm, compassionate, and patient professional with over twelve years of experience as a therapist, professor, and supervisor who takes a holistic approach to helping clients understand and overcome their concerns. From the beginning of therapy, I will work with you to develop a relationship that feels authentic and safe so that your concerns, emotional wounds, and disappointments as well as joys, pleasures, and surprises can be meaningfully explored. Within the context of this relationship, we will work together to develop a fresh understanding of your internal world and your relationships with others. Though this process of insight is generally very helpful, I also make use of action-oriented strategies to help you make changes and learn new skills in order to meet your goals.

I believe that we all have our own answers inside of us, and that sometimes we need a listening ear, or some additional support to figure out how we want our lives to be different and more satisfying. As an excellent listener, and one who is empathic and understanding, I have helped many clients achieve their own respective goals in life. I have been working in private practice for over 20 years, and have a lot of experience working with clients presenting with many different life problems. I see adults, teens, and children, in individual therapy, couples therapy, and family therapy. Some of my areas of expertise include depression, relationship issues, parenting issues, grief, adjustment difficulties, job stress, etc. I have a particular area of expertise working with incest survivors, and actually all adult survivors from troubled childhoods. I am EMDR trained, and also use cognitive behavioral therapy in my approach to clients, though I tend to be mostly psychodynamic. I welcome the opportunity to consult with any clients who may be interested in seeking counseling!

Do you want to have more self-confidence and higher self-esteem? Do you want to be able to stand up for yourself and have a voice in your relationships? Do you want to feel like you have more control over the direction of your life? My specialty is working with those that struggle with depression/anxiety, self-esteem, life transitions and relationship issues. As a therapist I will work collaboratively with you to break down the barriers in your life that hold you back. I work with individuals to find their inner voice and strength that will allow them to live the life that they desire. I also work with couples to improve their communication, build a stronger bond and reach greater intimacy and happiness together. In addition I have worked extensively with adolescents in helping them learn to navigate their world in a difficult stage of life. Through a person-centered, accepting, and non-judgmental approach I will help you trade ineffective coping strategies for more successful ones so you can lead the fulfilling life that you deserve. If you are looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you are just ready to move in a new direction in life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.

Are you feeling tired, having difficult keeping up with your daily routine, or emotionally drained? Have you been feeling anxious, fearful, sad, or angry? Perhaps you are having difficulty in your interpersonal relationships or in your workplace? Deciding to manage your emotional wellness can be overwhelming and unfamiliar. Acknowledge your courage in taking the first step by searching for a therapist. My goal is to help you manage any challenges in your life, explore treatment options, and assist you in achieving your goals. I use a goal directed approach to help you utilize your innate strengths to increase your emotional well-being. I work with adolescents, adults, families, and couples in a non-judgmental atmosphere. I specialize in treating individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, and life transitions, couples struggling with communication or relationship issues, and families that are looking for guidance in understanding family dynamics and achieving balance.

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.

My first question to any new client is, “How will you know when therapy is over?” This helps us both to define the goals of therapy. Together, we’ll focus on solutions to problems, and build on the strengths already there. I’ve been a therapist for children, adults, and families on the North Shore for ten years.
