I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Indiana. I specialize in individual, family, and couples therapy for depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and eating disorders (binge eating disorder, bulimia, avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder, night eating syndrome), with adults, adolescents, and families. I offer credit counseling as well. I am trained in a wide variety of therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Written Exposure Trauma Protocol, Exposure Response Prevention Therapy, Adlerian, and Existentialism.

I previously worked in higher-levels-of-care for mood and eating disorders at a large behavioral health treatment center. Additionally, I was an educator for Chicago Public School for many years as well as a department chairperson, the Lead High School Counseling Specialist for all of Chicago Public Schools and the counseling department chairperson for the third largest high school in Chicago.

I have a versatile approach to suit each patient’s individual needs, and I leverage my knowledge of mindfulness to help patients “retrain their brain” to establish new and more adaptive behaviors.
