About

About Me

Since I started private practice in 2005, my passion has been creating connections and building relationships that are meaningful, prosperous, and life changing.  In both our personal and our work lives, relationships are at the foundation of all we do and all we are.  

​

What makes a strong foundation?  Most people would say communication is a key component.  Actually, listening,  curiosity and empathy are key.  A relationship - whether personal or business - is built on feeling understood, validated, and accepted.  Without it, communication loses its effectiveness.  Couples end up in negative cycles of disconnect impacting intimacy.  Businesses lose profits from dissatisfied customers and employees and confusion around partners' goals.  

​

I received my doctorate degree from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology-Northwest Campus. During and since my doctoral training, I have provided psychological services in hospitals, community mental health, schools, and private practice.  

​

I would be honored to have the opportunity to see how we can work together to identify and improve the meaningful relationships in your life.  Let's create connections that help you feel fulfilled both personally and professionally!

Specializing in Relationship Improvement

Couple's Therapy
Relationship Coaching
Business Relationships

Feeling like you can’t get out of a negative cycle of arguing, blaming, misunderstanding, or tension?  Are you just not talking anymore?  Are you desiring more emotional or physical intimacy in your relationship?  Let me help you improve your interactions so that you feel more connected and able to talk through hurts and disconnection to healing and resolution. 

Individual Therapy

Overthinking? Seeing a pattern to your relationships that you want to understand and change?  Unhappy in your job?  Wondering how to reduce your stress?  I also provide short term therapy for anxiety, low self esteem, life transitions, and relationship issues.  Sometimes the first step to relationship improvement is increasing your own self knowledge.  

Is relationship coaching separate from couple's therapy?  Yes!  Relationship coaching helps you identify negative cycles, build connection skills, and highlights strengths. We identify and discuss differences in your styles of communication and processing. It does not dive deep into emotional processing and healing that can result in symptoms that may then be covered by insurance.  

Teletherapy

I provide telepsychology to individuals and couples wanting to improve anxiety, stress, relationships, and self esteem.  Talk therapy through the computer is not for everyone, so call me to arrange an initial phone call to discuss your situation and whether this mode of therapy is right for you.

What can a couple's therapist do for business?  And what's empathy got to do with business?  Negative cycles that occur in couples occur in any relationship.  Whether with your employees, among business partners, or with your customer base, improving these relationships allows companies to achieve goals, build profits, and retain a loyal customer base.  I tailor my service to your unique situation, so call me for more information!

Financial Therapy

Money can cause significant stress regardless of your financial position.  Stress can be reduced by building your understanding of your relationship with money.  Are you a risk taker? Are your frequently anxious about money? Do you overspend? Financial therapy is short term to help you prepare for a visit with a financial advisor.
