Overview
As an independent psychotherapist licensed in the State of Illinois, I have 11 years of vast experience working in a group private practice.

Specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of anxiety and mood disorders, I also enjoy helping individuals rewrite their life scripts, as well as to help them build or restore self-esteem in an effort to meet the demands of life's challenges.

Using a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and psychodynamic techniques, I have been known to help many individuals reframe old belief systems which no longer prove adaptive. Instead, I challenge them to change their negative attitudes and irrational perceptions of their current life situation, in an attempt to bring about more rational thoughts and healthy behaviors.

For individuals, my rate is $145.00 for a one hour office session; $165.00 per hour for couples and family counseling.
