A positive working alliance between a psychologist and patient is crucial for growth and development within the clinical context. Therefore, it is key for each patient to seek out a psychologist whom they feel comfortable and connected with. I offer an initial consultation at no charge in order to determine if the right fit exists. If after a consultation it does not feel like a good fit, then I will help you find a clinician who provides one. As a licensed clinical psychologist, with more than seven years of clinical experience, I have an extensive background working with adolescents, adults, and families.
I have worked in prominent Chicagoland settings including Advocate Illinois Masonic Behavioral Health Services, Alexian Brothers Behavioral Health Hospital, and I have been assistant director at Alan M. Jaffe, Psy.D. & Associates for seven years.
I provide psychological treatment in a confidential private practice setting for adolescents, adults, couples, and families. My training in cognitive behavioral and psychoanalytic theory and practice has allowed me to formulate individualized and comprehensive treatment plans tailored to the presenting problems of each patient.
