About me
Hi,
I am looking forward to getting to know you & the ways in which I can support and assist you.
Prior to beginning my work as a counselor in the state of Illinois in 2007, I worked as a psychology professor (teaching & conducting research). Since 2007 I have used a variety of therapeutic techniques to help individuals, couples & families. I specialize in working with those dealing with anxiety, mood disorders & relationship issues. My approach to counseling is interactive and solution focused.
When I am not working, I enjoy baking and singing.
