I enjoy working with adults and teens struggling with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, eating disorders and parenting issues. Another focus of my practice includes helping couples who have been caught in negative communication patterns stop the unhealthy cycle.

I have training in Cognitive Behavioral Treatment (CBT).I find this approach is beneficial as it involves helping clients see things in a different perspective by challenging unproductive thinking patterns.

I am a very empathetic and supportive therapist and I believe in an individual's self-determination. I know that it can be very difficult to seek out help and I work very hard to create a secure, nonjudgmental and confidential environment.

  I received my graduate degree from the University of Michigan ( Ann Arbor ). I have completed extensive clinical training at the University of Michigan Medical Center. I was fortunate to be the recipient of a one-year Post-Master's Degree Fellowship in Adolescent and Adult Psychiatry.
 
I spent an entire year working on an eating disorder unit in Denver , CO .

In addition to my private practice, I have spent almost 10 years on staff at Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago . While at Children's Memorial Hospital , I worked with children and teens struggling with low self-esteem, academic difficulty, parental conflict, peer pressure and adolescent angst.

Please call to see 'if we are a good fit.' I will provide a brief initial consultation at no-charge. Or email me at

I check my email regularly and will respond within 24 hours.

 
I provide evening appointments.
