Therapy and Counseling in East Rogers Park, Chicago.

I provide a warm and accepting environment where you can explore the things in life that are not easy to resolve. Finding a compassionate guide in self exploration is sometimes needed in response to a specific need such as loss, job change, or depression/anxiety.

My approach as a therapist is rooted in compassion and the belief that everyone has the ability to heal when provided with a safe, trustworthy and open-minded environment in which to explore one's emotional, psychological and body/mind experiences.

"Anxiety is a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind. If encouraged, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained." - Arthur Somers Roche

Are you worried about your child or teenager? I create a supportive environment that incorporates parents as part of the treatment process. Together we can help your child find their strengths, overcome challenges, and begin to thrive.

I prefer a warm, collaborative approach to therapy and enjoy getting to know my clients and gaining an understanding of what brought them to their current place in life. I enjoy humor and believe laughter can (and often should) be part of the healing process.

My approach in therapy is open, explorational, mindful, warm and genuine. I use family systems theory, mindfulness practices, positive psychology and even humor, when appropriate, in an integrative manner to help you increase your insight into the issues you are facing.
