Thank you for visiting my Internet site. I hope you will find as much information as you might require to decide if my services meet your needs. For more information, please call (773) 450-3395. I look forward to hearing from you.
I am a Masters level, highly skilled therapist licensed in Illinois (LCPC stands for Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) with 20 years experience providing quality therapy and pastoral care services in various settings ranging from hospitals and nursing homes to community organizations and houses of faith- working with diverse populations including the HIV/AIDS community, the LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Questioning) community, and interfaith religious communities. My work often assists those who seek to strengthen their emotional and psychological health and encourages them to identify and integrate their own spiritual growth as a complimentary resource.
SPECIALTIES:
Individual, Couples, and Family Therapy with particular expertise in the following areas:
Spirituality Integration
Grief and Bereavement Work
Long-term/Serious Health Issues including HIV/AIDS
Depression
Self-Esteem
LGBTQ/Sexual Orientation Issues
Along with psychotherapy, I can also provide Pastoral Counseling- a type of counseling that identifies the faith resources of an individual and employs them as an additional focus for reflection and insight for growth and direction. Pastoral Counseling is open to all faith traditions and focuses on the spiritual path as identified by the individual. Pastoral Counseling is not imposed, but is an additional approach for those requesting it.
I am also available for retreats, workshops and seminars specifically developed to meet the needs of a group within a church, small or medium business, or non-profit organization. These range from deepening leadership and team-building relationships to targeted educational enrichment.
