Working at an out-patient mental health clinic for many years gave me a strong foundation as a therapist. I worked with a range of clients in terms of age, gender, ethnicity, income, education and sexual orientation. In addition, I learned how to help couples and families resolve conflict and improve communication. Training in Gottman Couples Therapy and Relationship Enhancement Therapy has improved my ability to help people experiencing relationship difficulties.

My personal interests also inform my therapy practice. As a youngster growing up in Chicago, I couldn’t wait to grab my skates and go the ice rink. Speed-skating (think Winter Olympics) helped me build confidence and reduce stress. Being a ballet dancer, teacher and writer give me creative outlets and have helped me build a strong mind/body connection. Regardless of whether you are an athlete, performer, executive or parent, I can help you unleash your creativity for maximum performance and satisfaction.
