With over 30 years of experience as a therapist, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals, particularly teenagers, navigate life’s challenges. My work is rooted in supporting clients through a wide range of issues including relationships, mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, family addictions, adoption, and identity exploration.
As a passionate advocate for inclusivity, I founded one of the first LGBTQ support groups in the Chicagoland area, demonstrating my deep commitment to helping people embrace their true identities. I also facilitated a support group for Children of Addicts for 25+ years, which taught me invaluable lessons about resilience and the healing power of community.
In our sessions, my primary goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and genuinely heard. I believe that building a strong, authentic connection is essential for effective therapy, and I am committed to being transparent and honest as we work together.
