I work with clients navigating a wide range of life stages and emotional needs, including anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive challenges (OCD), relationship stress, grief, loss, and significant life transitions. I understand these experiences as shaped by personal history, as well as broader social, cultural, and systemic forces. I am dedicated to building trusting, respectful, and open relationships where clients can feel safe exploring what they are going through and working toward meaningful goals together. My approach is warm and collaborative, and I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches, tailoring care to each client’s needs and preferences so therapy stays responsive and aligned with what matters most to them. Whether integrating cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) tools or mindfulness-based strategies, I focus on building a strong therapeutic relationship as the foundation for meaningful growth and change. Outside of therapy, I enjoy doing puzzles and crosswords, knitting, reading, cooking, and spending time outdoors.

I am an Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist. IFS is a psycho-spiritual approach that is the most nonjudgmental, kind, gentle, and effective method I know. In IFS, no part of you is ever considered bad. Even though you may have been taught otherwise, you are healthy at your very core, and you can learn to access that core part of you. I am also trained in several trauma resolution methods, and I am a grief therapist. Grief is one of my primary specialties. I offer Repair and Reattachment Institute for Attachment and Developmental Trauma (IADC) grief therapy, as well as traditional grief therapy (see my website, www.therapyforinnerpeace.com, for information about these forms of grief therapy). Sessions can be done either in my office or online.

Whether you’re seeking personal growth, stronger relationships, or relief from stress and anxiety, I provide a safe, compassionate space where you can explore, heal, and thrive.

As a clinical psychologist, I am a compassionate listener, yet an interactive therapist. I attempt to facilitate personal exploration and understanding with the clients with whom I work. In therapy we work together to address one’s challenges in order to allow greater access to one’s strengths in living life.

I will be found to be respectful of biological, psychological, and environmental influences in understanding client concerns and in supporting their progress in finding life more manageable and ultimately more fulfilling.

I know life can be difficult and asking for help is a challenge. It takes courage to address things and make changes. I welcome you openly—listening to you discuss your scenario, with compassion and without judgment. I want you to experience a sense of support and safety through your process.

Do you feel like you’re constantly fighting an uphill battle with your own brain? Maybe you’re struggling to stay organized, feeling paralyzed by a never-ending to-do list, or wondering why “simple” tasks feel so overwhelming. When executive functioning challenges collide with the pressures of work, family, and society, it’s easy to feel defeated. I believe you are not the problem; the tools you’ve been given simply might not fit the way your mind works. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Illinois, I look at your life as a whole, including your home, your work, and your community. We won’t just look at the challenges you face; we’ll also look at the world around you and identify where the friction lies. Using a strengths-based approach, we will identify what is already working and build from there. My style is active and collaborative. Using motivational interviewing, I help you find your own internal “why” to spark lasting change. We’ll work together to build a toolkit for focus, organization, and emotional regulation, all while honoring your unique lived experience. You deserve a space where you feel seen, not judged. Let’s work together to bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be.

My approach to healing is holistic, loving, and empowering while understanding the inherent vulnerability within the therapeutic process.

As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating.

I'm a senior therapist who has been working with clients for just over 50 years. As a child I wanted to be a family doctor. I think it's my approach to working with clients that has sustained my interest in the profession I chose so long ago. My approach to helping people consists of a personalized commitment to your achieving what you came for. My style is to engage in a conversation about the issues you have and what gets in your way of resolving them. I am solution oriented. I think many of my clients have found me to be understanding of them and their situation, but also helpful in pointing out how they may contribute to their problems. Lastly, therapy is a serious undertaking, but I believe I and my client's should find our time together meaningful and even enjoyable at times.
