About me
Psychotherapist at LifeStance Health serving adults and couples in the greater Chicago area. Currently using only HIPAA compliant video distance therapy.
Congratulations! You are choosing a hopeful step. Tell me about yourself, what is happening, what is bothering you- and about what you want. I know that trust is based on safety and our safe relationship will be the foundation of therapy. Together we can build that relationship, one that you find helpful, one that’s focused on your goals. Perhaps you are having difficulty with your feelings, with a relationship or with a situation. Or with all that and more. We can sort that out and find ways to respond, ones that work for you. Ways that help you move forward with more confidence and effectiveness. I look forward to meeting you!
I see individual adults and couples. I tailor work with individuals by integrating applied counseling psychology and proven therapeutic interventions. With couples I use a blend of Gottman's research and what I learned at The Couples Institute to focus on the growth and development of each partner and of the relationship. Use the website link to schedule.
Personally, I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I love a good story, in either a book or movie. I enjoy learning; the world is so full of interesting places, people and ideas. I raise vegetables and enjoy cooking. Walking several miles a day is my most consistent exercise.
