Do you feel your life doesn't reflect your hopes and dreams? Do your relationships lack the satisfaction & warmth you wish and deserve? Are you finding it challenging to be the spouse or parent you want to be? Have you been diagnosed with a medical condition and struggling to adjust? Are you caring for a loved one with an illness and feeling the stress? As your partner and guide, I can help you remove unhealthy patterns and develop more constructive ways of coping. I can assist you in feeling happier, more resilient in the face of life challenges, developing stronger relationships and achieving your full potential.
I'm an experienced psychologist who can assist you with relationship challenges, perfectionism & people-pleasing, life transitions (marriage /parenting/divorce/retirement/caregiving), ADHD & parenting, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety & life dissatisfaction. I specialize in working with individuals & families facing cancer & chronic medical illnesses.
I have been on faculty at Northwestern University School of Medicine for 23 years. I would describe myself as warm, actively engaged, non-judgmental and empathic. I tailor our work uniquely to you to help you achieve your highest level of happiness and life satisfaction. I look forward to hearing from you.
