Accepting Clients

I'm a psychologist, hypnotherapist, life coach, & single-mom-by-choice...specializing in burnout recovery and life transitions in midlife.

Psychologist in Chicago, IL

About My Clients

My clients are accomplished professionals, leaders, and parents who’ve spent years caring for everyone else—through work, family, and endless responsibilities. Now they feel a quiet pull toward something more. Many are questioning who they are beyond their roles and responsibilities, or wondering what’s next in this new season of life. They’re ready to rediscover themselves and create a life that feels authentic, fulfilling, and fully alive. Can see clients in: psypact.gov/page/psypactmap

My Background and Approach

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist, life coach, and hypnotist with over 25 years of experience helping high achievers, caregivers, and professionals in midlife reconnect with themselves. My work blends science, soul, and story—drawing from psychology, coaching, and hypnosis to create meaningful, lasting change. I’ve founded and led a thriving group practice, navigated burnout, and rebuilt my own life with greater alignment and purpose. That lived experience shapes my approach: grounded, compassionate, and collaborative. I help clients slow down, listen inward, and realign their choices with what truly matters—so they can move from depletion to vitality, from self-doubt to clarity, and from autopilot to a more intentional, fulfilling way of being.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that healing begins when we stop running from ourselves and start listening to the quiet truths within. Life has taught me that even the most capable, caring people can lose their way when they’ve spent years living for everyone and everything else. Therapy offers a sacred space to pause, to untangle what no longer fits, and to remember who you are beneath the roles you play. It’s not about fixing what’s broken—it’s about reconnecting to the parts of you that have been waiting to be seen, heard, and valued. I’ve learned that clarity and peace don’t come from doing more, but from coming home to yourself—with honesty, compassion, and courage. Through my own life journey, I've found my way out of feeling lost and defeated to feeling like a bona-fide badass. Not just once, but through many cycles of darkness. And not by listening to what others thought I ought to do, but by taking the risk to follow my inner voice.
