I value each person that I work with - it as an honor that they choose to
share their lives with me. My goal with everyone is to provide services
that facilitate an improved level of functioning and contentment in
their lives.
My
style as a clinician is relaxed. Our sessions should be a positive
interaction, even if we are discussing difficult issues. Whether a
therapist or a coach, my sessions tend to have more of a feeling of two
people relaxing in my living room and having a conversation. It is my
job to make you comfortable and safe so that we can resolve the issues
that have brought you. I do not sit back quietly, but instead engage
with you to create movement and change towards a positive outcome.
I look forward to talking with you. Feel free to call me at 312-961-5074 or email to schedule an appointment.

Who Are My Clients?
My
clients are not a specific "type" of person. I work with all ages,
individuals, and couples. Many of my clients are working through
transition issues, while others are dealing with more chronic mental
health issues.
I
work with normal individuals who are bothered by an issue or problem
they would like resolved, but have not been able to resolve on their
own. It might be an old or more recent issue they have with themselves
or a problem they are having with someone else. I coach and guide my
clients in their learning and resolving of the issue or problem.
