I like to work with individuals and couples of various ages and backgrounds. I enjoy working with those who are struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, or relationship conflicts. Whether it be struggling with things at work, home, or other parts of your life, my hope is to be able to come alongside and empower individuals to utilize your strengths and resources. While there are several different methods of therapy, I believe in using an integrative approach by applying empirically supported treatment best suited for your needs.

Feeling challenged, stressed or anxious by life events? For all of us, there are times that life becomes difficult to manage. Changes and challenges become overwhelming or increase our sense of vulnerability, worry or frustration. Other times, we just feel stuck. Therapy can be a helpful step towards feeling better and a means to regain insight, balance and perspective. We provide individual and couples therapy for teens through older adults in both our Des Plaines and Evanston offices. You'll find our team warm, caring and supportive while you work on the changes you desire.

I work with with couples, families and individuals to fully realize their potentials and help them have the experiences they want in their lives and relationships. This can prove especially difficult when there are so many factors affecting one's well-being; a boss at work that doesn't respect you, a spouse that doesn't understand you, a friend that doesn't contact you. I try to explore all of these influences and help you find the place where you want to be in. Who said relationships have to be difficult or dreadful to experience?

Offering telehealth and in-person. One of my favorite quotes is by the late Magda Gerber- "We all need someone who understands." As a clinician that has worked with a variety of mental health and familial issues, I can attest that the most important part of the therapeutic process is the relationship between the therapist and the client. I prioritize that relationship and always aim to create a safe and non-judgmental space for the most vulnerable and deepest parts of your struggles to be heard and made better. I believe that every individual has the internal skills to create the life for themselves and with others that they want.

With just over 20 years experience in the field, I am the proud owner of Northwest Suburban Counseling. My colleagues and I provide services to a broad spectrum of clients and truly enjoy dedicating ourselves to our work as private practitioners.

Couples with young kiddo are particularly at risk for marriage and family strife because they are so busy, and because there is so much that is new to their brains, emotions and relationship. Figuring out how to be both mom and dad as well as husband and wife is often overwhelming and troubling. Tension builds when the relationship energy gets split between kiddos needs (and there are a lot of them!) and marriage needs (and those are valid as well). The energy to figure out how to integrate all those needs, wants, wishes becomes divided and divisive. Disconnected and discontent brew and relationship trouble stews. What to do?

The adage “we repeat what we don’t repair” is especially true of couples. Couples often start therapy knowing that their relationship can and should be better, but they feel powerless to change. Constant fighting, threatening to leave, infidelity, always feeling distant, anxiety and depression—these are signs that something needs to change. Couples therapy with me focuses on helping you and your partner break these cycles by first understanding how they came to be. I offer a unique perspective that emphasizes the importance of exploring unconscious dynamics and your past’s influence in your relationship.
