With warmth, compassion, and extensive experience, I've dedicated 20 years to supporting adults, children, adolescents, and families from diverse backgrounds facing anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, and eating disorders. I specialize in guiding individuals and couples through significant life transitions, including the journey into young adulthood, forming partnerships, and managing prenatal/postpartum mental health. Additionally, I offer valuable assistance to those struggling with infertility, providing guidance along paths such as IVF, donor egg/sperm, and surrogacy.
I am certified in Psychodrama, an expressive arts therapy that uses guided dramatic action, allowing us to go deeper than traditional talk therapy to create meaningful change. I am certified in Gottman Couple's therapy and am working toward EMDRIA certification in EMDR. I also use insight oriented, cognitive- behavioral, and family systems approaches.
I offer an individualized approach with specialized treatments in a safe and compassionate environment. I have led psychodrama group for 12 years, as well as offer psychodrama personal growth workshops, intensives, and trainings for professionals. I was a supervising psychologist at Illinois Masonic Medical Center for seven years before co-founding CCGC.
