I am an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) therapist who has been serving clients in the Lake and Cook County communities for the past 10 years. I have worked with families, children, adolescents, and young adults with varying diagnoses and issues (i.e. major depression, bipolar disorder, self-mutilation, ADHD, post-traumatic stress disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, chemical abuse and dependency).

I am also a certified alcohol and drug counselor (CADC) and have extensive experience running substance abuse groups. These groups promoted prevention, intervention, and recovery among teens and young adults.

For 2 years I co-facilitated experiential wilderness groups that traveled to various locations in the country. I have experience running anger management groups and working with high risk youth who are gang affiliated and at risk for incarceration. Currently I provide clinical supervision for students who are in masters level programs at various colleges and universities.

I am an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) and have been working in the field for over 11 years. I have experience with chronically mentally ill adults in residential settings, and with youth and their families in home-based and school settings.

I have worked closely with youth struggling with issues including mood disorders, self injury, anger management problems, eating disorders, teen pregnancy, post-traumatic stress disorder, and ADHD. I have assisted many families in improving their ability to communicate and respect one another. I have facilitated several groups for teenage girls focusing on problem-solving, self-esteem, and healthy relationships. I have a warm, encouraging, and honest therapeutic approach and work hard to engage the entire family in the therapeutic process.

I am an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) and have been working with youth and families for more than eight years. I have been professionally trained to conduct individual, group and family therapy. My specializations include parent-child relationship issues, family communication problems, effective discipline approaches, and behavioral problems. I also have experience counseling individuals with mental health issues such as Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder and Post Traumatic Stress Disorders.

I have a relational approach with the clients I serve. I recognize the important role of parents and other significant adults in youths' lives and strive to work together in addressing youth behavior and promoting appropriate parent leadership and family capabilities. I embrace a strengths perspective which encourages family self-sufficiency and acknowledges that families have the capability to engage in problem-solving work and improve their own functioning.
