About My Clients
The clients I see often feel like they just can't catch a break, that life keeps throwing them curveballs. They are often struggling to cope with infertility or other health concerns. They may work in a high stress jobs that limit their ability to balance work & life. They may also be unhappy in their relationship or because they do not yet have the partner they long for.
My Background and Approach
I am a former Professor of Psychiatry and Obstetrics & Gynecology at Northwestern University and I tailor the use of evidence based treatments to each client. I have received specialized training in health psychology and have worked for 15+ years with patients who are experiencing infertility, pregnancy loss, cancer, or other health conditions. I have also worked closely with and provided support to many people in the LGBTQ+ community and from diverse religious and racial/ethnic backgrounds. I am supportive and solutions-oriented without being judgmental and I incorporate a sense of humor when appropriate during sessions. I have also worked as a forensic psychology expert in civil cases often involving assault, discrimination, and/or harassment for the last 18 years.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that the difficulties of life can weigh us down and limit our ability to live our lives to the fullest. During these times, it may feel like we are barely surviving when you want to be thriving. Although it may seem impossible, I believe we can learn to navigate life's roadblocks and carve a path to happiness.
