I work with adolescents, adults, couples and families. I have been in the field of Mental Health & Law for over 25 years. I utilize a variety of treatment approaches to treat depression, PTSD, adjustment disorders, culture conflicts, LGBTQ issues and life transitions. I received my MS degree from MS State University (MSU) and my MJ degree from Loyola University Chicago, School of Law. I had a solo practice for 8 years on the North Shore of Chicago. I have held several Mental Health Supervisor and Director positions in the Chicagoland area. My three unique specialties of practice include treatment for Culture Conflicts, LGBTQ Issues and Workplace Related Issues.
