Counseling in Palatine, IL. Find the Right Therapist.

I ask clients about their best hopes for each session. I use a direct approach and humor to build rapport and find tools that work. I focus on preserving marriage/family relationships, and support those struggling with depression, anxiety, addiction, and divorce issues.

I'm a seasoned, experienced individual and couple's counselor (40+ years) who has helped thousands of clients with the problems of their lives. Most people find me personally easy to work with, involved in actively helping them, and get what they came for, maybe more.

Are you unhappy with yourself and with the way life is unfolding? Are your relationships, career or creative life not what you want them to be? Are you anxious? Unmotivated? Sad? We can work together to gain understanding about what's going on and getting in your way.

Using a combination of evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy, I tailor our work to meet your unique needs and goals. Together, we’ll move toward meaningful change and greater fulfillment— you and in your relationship

I believe that we all need someone to talk with who will really listen and accept us as we are, without judgment. I provide my clients with a warm, non-judgmental environment- a safe place to explore the issues that may be preventing you from living the life you want.

It's a passion of my work to foster healing, growth and a greater sense of well-being for my clients. I love to empower others to know more fully who they are, what they have to offer others, and how to attain greater personal, relational and work/life satisfaction.

I believe counseling can be a life changing experience that can improve all aspects of your life. I also believe for this change to happen you need a competent counselor you feel comfortable with.
