About My Clients
In my career as a Psychologist, I have worked with a wide variety of clients and presenting issues having served as a clinician and neuropsychologist for children and teenagers but also provided individual, couples, and family counseling for adults from all walks of life - straight, gay, binary, nonbinary, kink-aligned, you name it. I would be honored to put my experience to work for you. I look forward to helping you on healing journey!
My Background and Approach
Let me tell you a bit about myself. I have been licensed as a Clinical Psychologist in Illinois and Florida since the late 1990s. I earned my Master of Arts (M.A.) in Clinical Psychology from Roosevelt University in Chicago in 1991 and went on to earn my Master of Science (M.S.) in Industrial/Organizational (I/O) Psychology and my Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) Degree in Clinical Psychology from the Florida Institute of Technology (Florida Tech) in 1995. My group practice is called Home Psych Services, P.C. We provide services via secure video telehealth using an evidence-based treatment approach which draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness-Based Psychotherapy. Our style is goal-directed, no nonsense, and affirming. We have a variety of therapists available to meet your needs and offer affordable pricing starting as low as $35 per session. We are culturally sensitive, LGBTQ-informed, and ready to listen and get to work on your behalf.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I have a strong belief in the human spirit to persevere and overcome adversity and to change the narrative as we compose the story of our lives. I do think that people can get stuck along the way and may rely on outdated or dysfunctional ways of viewing the world and unhealthy patterns of behavior. It often helps to work with a professional who can help you see blind spots and develop healthy ways of thinking and behaving. I have been active in advocating for Veterans issues, a supporter of the LGBTQ community and immigrants' rights and an avid volunteer and philanthropist having been a long-standing Rotarian and member of the Elks Club. I am married and live with my family in Skokie, Illinois, where I enjoy family time, playing with our dogs – Gertrude and Blanca - watching the White Sox and Italian soccer, attending movies and plays, reading, hiking, and running. I am a member of the American Psychological Association.
