About

I am a Doctor of Psychology, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor in the State of Illinois. I am the author of the best-selling self-help book, How to be a Mental Health Savage. I am an avid mental health advocate who aims to reduce mental health stigma globally. I focus on a holistic approach to mental health improvement through intellectual stimulation, relationship restructuring, diet restructuring, and exercise. My extensive experience includes working with acute trauma care and counseling co-occurring disorders (mental health and substance abuse). I also provide custody evaluations, firearms appeal evaluations and juvenile forensic evaluations.
