About My Clients
A therapist is only as strong as the relationship with each client. Each client is unique, as such, together we find an approach to therapy that fits to your specific goals and needs. Nobody starts therapy because everything is going smoothly. Whether it be divorce, relationship concerns, navigating poly relationships, depression, anxiety, substance use, sex, kink and/or other issues, you don't have to do this alone. Stop struggling, together we can work towards an improved version of you.
My Background and Approach
I am here for the client, to find ways to help them along, to cope, to find the best version of themself. Together we collaborate on goals customized to client's specific case. Specialties include working with acceptance, narrative and reframing therapy, as well as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). We work to remain solutions-focused to help achieve and surpass attainable goals for therapy as it is integrated into your day-to-day life. As a recent graduate of Loyola University Chicago School of Social Work, I bring a fresh perspective to therapy and towards helping individuals. This is a second career after spending 20 years in advertising, as a result I understand the pressures of the world outside of therapy work. As a former New Yorker, I will be direct but with an empathetic and compassionate approach.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe anyone can start over, everyone can rebuild after hardships. Resilience is a choice. I run a group for men and those who identify as male focused on being a survivor of sexual assault. Men are underserved when it comes to sexual assault. Men have difficulty coming forward in relation to sexual trauma, in particular gay men find it difficult to talk about what happened. Knowing the power of a group setting helps to heal by knowing we are not alone.
