~ Over 18 years assisting clients of all ages find their strengths to fully live their lives ~
Training: I received my Bachelors of Science degree in Human Development and Family Studies from Colorado State University and a Masters of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Tufts University. I have worked at in-patient residential treatment facilities as well as outpatient counseling centers. My work experience began in the public sector working with non-profit child welfare agencies before settling into my current private group practice.

Approach: I blend different types of treatment to meet the unique goals each client brings to counseling. I believe there is no one way that leads to successful outcomes but that a combination of techniques, along with my ability to allow the client to help create their own treatment plan, enables them to triumph over their weaknesses and puts them on their path to health. I act as a gentle guide on their journey to well-being.
The following treatment approaches are utilized:
» Cognitive-Behavioral Psychology ; Through training in social skills and problem-solving we change negative thought patterns that lead to weakness and feelings of inadequacy.
» Psychodynamic Perspectives ; We reflect on your previous experiences to help you understand your current conflicts and feelings.
» Solution-Focused Treatment; You are invited to envision your preferred future and begin making changes by focusing on, and building, the strengths and resources available to you.
Appointments and Fees: I see clients out of the Hoffman Estates location. I offer daytime, evening and Sunday appointments. To schedule an appointment you may either call me directly at extension 118, or contact our Office Manager at extension 101.
I am contracted as an in-network provider for most major insurance companies and employee assistance programs. Please contact your insurance carrier directly to determine your benefits and ensure your authorization for treatment.
