Do you feel your life doesn't reflect the hopes and dreams you hold for yourself? Do your relationships lack the satisfaction and warmth you deserve? Do you feel out of sync, empty or lacking direction in your life? Do you have a medical condition that is hampering your emotional well-being? As your partner and guide, I can assist you to remove unhealthy patterns or blocks, heal unresolved pain and develop more constructive ways of coping. I can help you feel happier, more resilient in the face of life challenges, and develop stronger relationships to achieve your full potential. I'm an experienced psychologist that works with relationship difficulties, life transitions (marriage, new parent, separation/divorce, considering a new career), depression, anxiety, grief/loss, self-esteem issues, infertility & general life dissatisfaction. I specialize in working with individuals and their family members facing cancer & chronic medical illnesses anywhere along the continuum of care. I have been on faculty at Northwestern University School of Medicine for 12 years. I would describe myself as warm, actively engaged, non-judgmental and empathic. I tailor our work uniquely to each client to help you achieve your highest level of happiness. I look forward to hearing from you.
