I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois with 33 years experience helping individuals achieve a happier, healthier life. I employ a pscyhodynamic assessment approach based on Heinz Kohut’s self-psychology with cognitive behavioral interventions primarily. I am certified in Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy by Dr. Albert Ellis and I will tailor our dialogue and agreed upon goals to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!
