Psychotherapist in Chicago, IL

About My Clients

My work as a general psychotherapy practitioner has seen me work enormously well with hard-to-treat patients. Especially those who have failed with previous talk therapy and or medication-assisted psychotherapies. My approach does not simply use talk therapy. I coach, test your brain and apply other investigational methods to understand and address the core basis of what is at the root of the anxiety attack, just waiting, and then deploy a wide range of treatment approaches to address your needs
