Welcome! I see clients in Illinois and Connecticut.

Therapy starts with a supportive relationship to best understand and support the goals of each client.

I see a range of clients and issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, medical issues, caregiver stress and life transitions. I worked in oncology for over a dozen years, and also specialize in cancer support and survivorship for patients and families. And I welcome clients who want to incorporate their faith and spirituality into their counseling.
