Learn MoreAbout Me
I am a mental health/psychotherapist licensed in Illinois and Wisconsin with over 20 years of experience in the human service working as a psychotherapist and counselor and providing life coaching as well. I have worked with adolescents, adults and geriatric populations. In addition I see clients with a wide range of mental health concerns including mood disorders.
My Montra is inspired by Helen Keller, “ Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success”. I educate and empower others to embrace healing and to restore balance in mind, body and spirit.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
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.
