Hi and welcome to the consideration of a personal journey in therapy or evaluation services. Life continually challenges us to grow and shift, which, at times, is overwhelming. Talk therapy is designed as a frame to move through the hurdles, embrace self-discovery, skill development (improve relational communication, healthful coping, increase distress tolerance, process deep wounds), and have a compassionate space where the self can unfold (present/future) and reflect (present/past) to move forward from where one is to where one seeks to be. My clients often come to me when they want to dig in and clear pain or confusion from life. Why does this keep happening? What am I doing that isn't helping me? Why does no one seem to really understand me? Why does this pain hurt so much? Why do I keep reliving these past incidents? Why do I feel like I want to runaway or escape my life? Beyond talk therapy, sessions can include: EMDR, hypnosis, mindfulness training, depth work, and developing intuition and discernment. Reach out via email to discuss individual therapy. I am a licensed psychologist and I offer virtual therapy for residents of California, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Washington. I primarily work with adults and older adults. I received my doctorate in clinical psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in Chicago, IL. My doctoral training included Northwestern Psychiatric outpatient clinic (Stone Mental Health), Wolf Behavioral Health, Racine Correctional Facility, and The Forensic Center at the Merchandise Mart in Chicago. I completed postdoc work in San Diego as psychological associate completing psychological evaluations for the purpose of educational, forensic, neuropsychological, and psychological evaluations. My specialties include trauma, grief and loss, mood and personality disorders, stress management, dealing with life transitions, relational challenges, executive functioning (ADHD), and processing dysfunctional family dynamics. Evaluations services include use of the Meyers Neuropsychological Battery and specialized personality/diagnostic clarification evaluations.
