My services

Credentials

I am a licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (L.C.P.C.) with a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology and post-graduate certification in Marriage & Family Therapy from the Family Institute of Northwestern University. With extensive experience working with adults, adolescents, couples and families, I have been in clinical practice since 1983. Additionally, I have lectured on a wide variety of mental health and personal growth topics.

Personal Philosophy

I believe in each client's ability to access and expand their own strengths and resources to create and maintain optimal emotional and physical health. My primary goal is to create a safe, supportive and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship in which I encourage self-awareness, personal responsibility, growth and change. I am dedicated to my role as personal coach, resource person and educator, helping clients to identify and change the thoughts and behaviors that keep them from achieving emotional, physical & spiritual well-being.

Services Provided

I utilize a variety of research-based treatment approaches and techniques based on the individual needs of each client. These include Cognitive-Behavioral, Interpersonal, Problem Centered, Solution Focused and Supportive Therapies. I am also trained and experienced in the powerful treatment techniques of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma resolution and Clinical Hypnosis for a wide range of issues.
