About

I am a Family and Marriage counselor and Art Therapist licensed in Illinois and Missouri with over 30 years of experience working as a therapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, and career challenges,
I received my Master's in Counseling Psychology from Boston College and my Post-Master's Art Therapy Certificate from College of Notre Dame.
I have experience working with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, abuse and trauma, self-esteem and career challenges.

My approach to therapy is Person-Centered and Family Systems oriented. I am here to help to offer you support and guidance in an empathic and confidential manner.
Right now I am not taking any evening appointments. I am available usually from 11-2:30 and then from 4-5.
