Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Psychologist (LCP) based in Illinois. I received my doctorate from the Adler University of Illinois and have been practicing for 27 years. I help clients struggling with anxiety, depression, anger or substance use/abuse issues. I provide insight into their problems and strategic techniques to overcome them and move forward to a more useful and fulfilling life

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. I will provide some initial tools to help relieve anxiety and fear.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Having trained as an engineer and strategic planner before becoming a psychologist it was natural for me to accept and apply the Cognitive Behavioral and ACT principals and techniques Over the past 27 years, I've developed methods for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.

My treatment methods

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

An extension of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) requires the client to accept the responsibility to change, then the commitment to do what is needed to achieve the change. I work with clients to understand what they need and want to change, then help them develop a plan of action and the motivation to achieve change

Adlerian

Adlerian therapy is based on the pull of goals in life, be they positive or negative. I began applying this through Cognitive Behavior approach, them added ACT
