ABOUT ME
My Style
For almost 30 years I have collaborated with clients as they have engaged in the deeply challenging work of psychotherapy. My style is honest, caring, and straight-forward.
My approach is a partnership that combines psychodynamic, systems, existential and cognitive orientation. I understand the mind-body connection and the impact of unexpressed emotions on neural pathway development.
My belief is that each of us has what we need inside of us, we just may have some difficulty recognizing it and embracing it.
EXPERIENCE
I received my Masters degree in 1989 and began practicing individual, family, and group psychotherapy at a non-profit community agency. In 1991 I added supervising Masters Level clinical interns to my responsibilities. In 1997 I completed my doctoral candidacy work and started my private practice while continuing to work in nonprofit agencies.
I have been an adjunct faculty member at various local colleges and universities. In addition to my clinical work, supervision and teaching, I have also consulted with small businesses on personnel and operational issues. I presented on various topics such as; Leadership and Adoption.
I am currently Co-chair of the Membership Committee of the American Group Psychotherapy Association. I am the Retiring Chair of the Affiliate Societies Assembly. I am a past Board Member of AGPA. I am a past president of the Illinois Group Psychotherapy Society.
