When life becomes difficult to manage, reaching out for professional support is a sign of strength. Choosing to begin therapy can be a gift to yourself - an opportunity to deepen your self-awareness, build more effective and positive relationships and live a healthy, more fulfilling life. I provide a safe and supportive environment where we can work together to address challenges, change negative patterns of thinking and behavior and adopt new ways to work within yourself to improve your life. I will help you utilize your strengths, increase compassion toward yourself and gain confidence to make necessary and lasting changes.
I have 30 years of experience supporting clients with concerns including: depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, grief and loss, self-esteem and life transitions. My expertise is in perinatal mental health, helping individuals navigate the challenges of infertility, pregnancy and the postpartum period and those who experienced pregnancy loss.
I integrate various techniques in therapy and my approach with clients is caring, supportive, collaborative and interactive. I welcome your call to discuss how my expertise and approach can support you as you face your current life challenges. My office is in the Ravenswood neighborhood and conveniently located near the Montrose Brown line stop.
