| Practice Description: |
I aspire to listen, understand, and guide each person I treat through the problems that are getting in the way of them feeling more happy and fulfilled. I spend the first session or two getting to know my patient, learning about the problems they are experiencing, and assessing what the treatment needs will be. I create an individualized treatment plan and continually discuss progress and future goals throughout the course of treatment.
I work closely with each patient using an eclectic approach, utilizing different methods depending on the issues that are causing distress. Oftentimes, painful emotions or difficult relationships are the catalyst for someone to begin therapy. We work to alleviate the pain you are experiencing on a day to day basis while ascertaining the underlying emotional issues which may contribute to destructive patterns. This two-pronged approach is helpful in order to cope effectively with similar problems as they arise in the future.
I see a wide range of issues in my practice including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and personality disorders. I also have a specialty in working with people with eating issues and trained at Northwestern’s Eating Disorders Program. Please feel free to call if you have any questions about my practice or coming in for treatment.
