My experience over the years has taught me that change is always possible and that people are extraordinarily resilient. We will work together to achieve goals, reduce symptoms, improve relationships and gain forward momentum in your life.  Private practice has been my work setting for many years although I have also had the opportunity to work in an agency setting as well as an at-risk youth program. I received my graduate degree from Benedictine University, in Lisle, Illinois. Benedictine, in addition to my addictions certification, provided a strong foundation in both knowledge and skills.

Guiding clients through difficult emotions and difficult situations is a source of great fulfillment for me. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic approaches assist me in helping people to move forward in their lives. I am committed to life-long growth as a professional through continuing education as well as membership in professional organizations.
