About My Clients
I have been a therapist for teens, adults, and families on the Northshore of Chicago for more than fifteen years. I work with issues including anxiety, trauma, divorce, grief & loss, depression, spectrum disorders, and couples and family therapy. I provide a safe and relaxing environment that’s designed to help facilitate healing and change.
My Background and Approach
I use a variety of treatment modalities including CBT, psychodynamic therapy, and DBT. I began my work with families in 1998 as an adolescent crisis counselor at Youth Outreach Services in Chicago. The work gave me a deeper understanding of the struggles that individuals and families in challenging situations go through each day. The work was difficult, and required patience but allowed me to grasp the resiliency of families despite adverse circumstances. Through this, I further developed my therapeutic perspective: building on the strengths of the person within the family system for resiliency and health. I received my master’s degree at Loyola University School of Social Work, concentrating on clinical work and honing my skills in various and eclectic treatment modalities. I spent time interning clinically at the Josselyn Center in Northfield and was there for two years working with clients in long-term therapy. I began my practice in 2005 working with adults, teens and families.
