Are you curious to see what it feels like to make positive changes in your life? Are you ready to quiet the anxious chatter that gets in the way of living your life to its potential ? Sometimes we find ourselves in situations where our problems and emotions can feel too overwhelming; we feel lost as how to move forward. Finding the right therapist to help you with this journey is crucial. As a therapist, I offer support while working with you on mutually agreed upon goals. I believe a healthy therapeutic relationship can allow one to succeed. Providing trust and understanding are key elements in helping one achieve change. Change is not easy. It takes courage and the ability to be an active participant in your life. It is also imperative that I understand how you view your world. My ability to be in tune with your needs ultimately leads to a relationship grounded in respect. With support and trust, you are more likely to take steps toward a more empowered and fulfilling life.

My office is conveniently located on Villa Avenue, near Route 83 between Roosevelt and St. Charles Roads in Villa Park; near Elmhurst, Lombard, and Oak Brook. I accept cash, check and Blue Cross and Blue Shield PPO. I also accept some out of network insurance policies.

As a therapist with nearly 20 years of experience, I believe providing a safe environment to explore feelings and thoughts is key to any issue. We all need to know we are not alone and that others have felt what we have felt. It is very liberating to be heard, understood, and supported. My scope of practice includes a variety of issues, however I specialize in: worry, anxiety and fear, depression, various adjustment issues, and relationship issues.

I truly believe in the therapeutic process. Psychotherapy can help you bring about positive changes in your life. Change is hard work. When you have the support, encouragement, and honesty of your therapist it can become doable. More often than not, it can lead to a new self-awareness and excitement for life.
