My Approach to Helping

Empathy and rapport are crucial. As that is established, I develop a thorough evaluation to be sure no stone goes unturned. Then we develop a step-by-step program to get you from where you are to where you want to be.

  • ADD,Depression, Anger Mngt, Abuse, Anxiety, Marriage and Family, Adolescents Many of my patients had never been in therapy and were initially very hesitant. However, after just one visit they often report feeling at ease and very comfortable. After completing therapy they often report life-altering changes, progress and great satisfaction. I stay abreast of the latest advances in psychological treatments and provide honest, respectful, non-judgmental feedback; I offer practical guidance and attainable therapeutic goals and solutions. I am located in Cary, IL, near Crystal Lake and Algonquin and am affiliated with ALL local insurance plans. I have been in practice since 1976 and use the latest state-of-the-art therapy techniques. I offer day and evening appointments, next day appointments and have a no waiting policy for scheduled appointments. You should never have to wait more than 10 minutes for your appointment. Also, peace of mind to us is not just a slogan-but a promise! Unlike other doctors, we go the EXTRA MILE by assuming full responsibility for receiving insurance authorization and understanding the terms of your policy. In fact, to save you from any headaches or unpleasant surprises, the staff is so accurate and careful in communicating with your insurance company, that as long as your deductible is paid and you make the correct co-payment at each visit ... you'll NEVER have to worry about receiving an unexpected bill from us...regardless of what your insurance company may not pay later! That's real peace of mind. You won't get this exclusive "Peace of Mind Promise" anywhere else!
