I am a licensed therapist in the State of Illinois that has maintained a private practice for 25 years. I have worked with families, couples and individuals to help clients understand their environmental stressors, the influence of personal histories and overall understanding of what they are experiencing. In addition I teach healthy coping and communication skills to build healthier skills and improve life generally speaking.

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

In our first sessions we start with introductions, the specific challenges being experienced and formulating goals for the therapeutic sessions.

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

Having worked as a therapist for more than 30 years I have developed strong listening skills that help with my ability to identify the root causes of the challenges being faced.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I enjoy working with families, couples and individuals but my approach is always toward an understanding on the systems we live within and how those systems impact our lives.
